Delighted to see this. Was a novel I read as soon as released (indeed pre release via Netgalley) as I live Ben Pester’s short stories.
Taster of Pester’s work from his previous story collection. And he has a new story collection coming out next yearhttps://granta.com/orientation/
About someone starting a role with a weird colleague called Graham. Oddly reminiscent of my first job.
I've been excited about this ever since Paul's review of the ARC. I'm not sure it's published in the US yet? It may be time for a Blackwell's order.
Shortlisted for the Nero Book Awards for Debut Fiction
His post on Instagram reacting to it - as though it were awarded to the project - is genius
