A teenager longs for perfect skin. A scientist tends to fragile alien flora. A young man takes the night into his own hands. Each of these characters has a desperate desire. Can any of them be sated?
Unsettling, revelatory, and laced with her signature dark humour, Eliza Clark's debut short story collection plumbs the depths of that most basic human feeling: hunger.
'Her writing embraces the socially unacceptable, and wryly explores themes of gender, power and violence.' — Granta Best of Young British Novelists 2023, on Penance
“Clark shrewdly turns her own lens onto us, onto our obsession with true crime and our complicity in the industry it has spawned. . . . She is disturbingly gifted at inventing unrealities that feel uncannily believable.” — New York Times Book Review on Penance
'A work of show-stopping formal mastery and penetrating intelligence.' — Guardian on Penance
