Slyly poignant and wickedly funny... A serious vibe
*Cosmopolitan*
Readers who enjoy Melissa Broder and Ottessa Moshfegh will
appreciate this surreal trip through a troubled woman's psyche
*Booklist*
Lara Williams is the queen of smart modern satire. I could read her
all day
*Emma Jane Unsworth, author of 'Adults'*
Williams succeeds in satirising the seemingly unmockable: the
overwhelming absurdities of modern life...
*Literary Review*
I have never read anything like this... Deliciously
unpredictable
*Mateo Askaripour, author of 'Black Buck'*
Equal parts satire and elegy, coming from the very edge of the
abyss... Unsettling, risk-taking, profoundly moving - I loved
it
*Livia Franchini, author of 'Shelf Life'*
Astonishing, subversive and darkly funny - another dazzler of a
novel from Lara Williams
*Zeba Talkhani, author of 'My Past is a Foreign Country'*
Mischievous and thought-provoking
*Sheerluxe*
Slyly humorous, sharp, courageous and at times devastating... The
Odyssey is a wildly original satire
*Frances Cha, author of 'If I Had Your Face'*
