A BARACK OBAMA SUMMER READING PICK

'One of the best new collections I've read in a long time' TELEGRAPH 5-STAR REVIEW

'Camille Bordas is an invaluable new voice' GEORGE SAUNDERS

A young woman takes stock following a burglary. A teenager becomes obsessed with the obituaries in a weekly magazine. Grandchildren mourn the grandparents who loved them and the ones who didn't. Painters and almost-painters try to distinguish Good Art from Bad Art. People grapple with life-altering illness, unrequited love and promises they have every intention of keeping. Some win the lottery. Some don't.

In this prismatic new collection, Camille Bordas's complex, wry, sometimes dark and always self-aware stories open a window onto the truths and misapprehensions of our shared, flawed humanity.
