A GRANTA BEST OF YOUNG BRITISH NOVELIST 2023

Hallucinogenic, electric, and razor-sharp. Jessica Andrews' Will make most readers howl with laughter and/or shut their eyes in horror.



Irina is in a rut. She obsessively takes explicit photographs of average-looking men she scouts from the streets of Newcastle while her dead-end bar job slips away; she's more interested in drugs, alcohol, and extreme cinema. When she's offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery, which promises to revive her career in the art world, it should feel like an escape. But the news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, drawing in her obsessive best friend and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention.


BOY PARTS is the incendiary debut novel from Eliza Clark, a pitch-black comedy both shocking and hilarious, fearlessly exploring the taboos of sexuality and gender roles in the twenty-first century.


Smart, stylish, and very funny. Lara Williams

Boundaries are for breaking, and if anyone can crash through and reinterpret the fear of our time, Eliza Clark can.
