About this Event
We are delighted to welcome Eliza Clark to Deansgate, celebrating her first short story collection, .
A teenager longs for perfect skin. A scientist tends to fragile alien flora. A young man takes the night into his own hands. Each of these characters has a desperate desire. Can any of them be sated?
Unsettling, revelatory, and laced with her signature dark humour, Eliza Clark’s debut short story collection plumbs the depths of that most basic human feeling: hunger.
Eliza is joined by Jess White for a talk, audience Q&A and signing.
