Description

A GRANTA BEST YOUNG BRITISH NOVELIST 2023 WINNER OF THE JAMES TAIT BLACK PRIZE 2018 ‘The real inexplicable gorgeous brilliant thing’ MAX PORTER 'She has arrived in a class of her own' SARAH PERRY 'Funny, playful and utterly bravura' MELISSA HARRISON The thrillingly original, word-of mouth hit short story collection that launched the career of one of our most acclaimed writers, Eley Williams. Attrib. and Other Stories celebrates the tricksiness of language just as it confronts its limits.

The stories are littered with the physical ephemera of language: dictionaries, dog-eared pages, bookmarks and old coffee stains on older books.

They celebrate the weird, tender intricacies of the everyday where characters vie to ‘ own ’ their words, tell tall tales and define their worlds, all while struggling against our innate inability to communicate exactly what we mean. With affectionate, irreverent and playful prose and a unique combination of intimate storytelling and dizzying formal daring it’s no wonder that Attrib. and Other Stories brilliantly announced the arrival of one of Britain's most loved and most original writers. 'You feel in the safe hands of a storyteller dedicating their talent to our pleasure' OBSERVER 'One of the most promising young British writers to emerge in the past few years' FINANCIAL TIMES
