Description
'Surprising and uncanny, funny and transgressive' Irish Times
'A unique imagination, a brilliant debut' Kevin Barry
'Jaw-droppingly good' Sinead Gleeson
A brilliant literary debut - a short story collection for readers that love Daisy Johnson, Angela Carter, Shirley Jackson or Lydia Davis
There once was ... a woman who loved her husband's cock so much that she began taking it to work in her lunchbox. a man who made films without a camera, which transfixed his estranged daughter. a couple who administered electric shocks to each other, to be reminded of what love is. a world where you wake up one day and notice that, one by one, people are turning blue Startling, wry, beguiling and emotionally charged - the stories in Modern Times might be reminiscent of Lydia Davis, Angela Carter and Daisy Johnson, but they are also unlike anything you've read before.
