Brandon Taylor, author of Real Life, shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, has crafted a debut collection of ten stories that navigate the spaces between aspiration and delusion, ambition and aimlessness, the curated profile and the unreliable body. By turns unsparing and tender, Dalla Rosa explores our lives in late-stage capitalism, where globalization and its false promises of connectivity leave us further alienated and disenfranchised. Like the legendary Lucia Berlin and his contemporary Ottessa Moshfegh, Dalla Rosa is a masterful observer-and hilarious eviscerator-of our ugly, beautiful attempts at finding meaning in an ugly, beautiful world. Voyeuristically addictive, funny, and deceptively simple, Halle Butler, author of The New Me, praises Guardian as a must-read for anyone who has ever felt lost in the chaos of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 194g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 197 x 129 x 19 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800810136\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Main\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Dalla Rosa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44272358916346,"sku":"9781800810136","price":6.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1685706292301_book.jpg?v=1686252113","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/an-exciting-and-vivid-inner-life-9781800810136","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
