AGranta Best of Young Bristish Novelists 2023
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.
