Description
'A ripe and excellent debut... funny and smart and human and true.' Andrew O'Hagan, author of Mayflies
Wild Pets follows Iris, Ezra and Nance in the years after university. They fall in and out of bed with each other, reread The Art of War, grieve the closing of Fabric and write book proposals on the history of salt, while submerging their nights in drink and drugs. Confronting adulthood with high wit and low behaviour against contemporary political and social turmoil, these young men and women seem to have everything going for them. So why are they still swimming desperately against the tide?
A bold, honest novel, Wild Pets is about the fragility of mental health, power imbalances in friendship and sex, and creative ambition fused with destruction – and the lingering power of first loves.
Advance Praise
'Amber Medland writes in a voice wholly her own—part meow and part growl—nervy, laceratingly funny, and profoundly knowing.'
Elissa Schappell, author of Blueprints for Building Better Girls
'Like Sally Rooney and Zadie Smith, Amber Medland has written a daring, complex page-turner about being young and in love. But Wild Pets also feels wholly new and original, as Medland so brilliantly captures the thrill and fear of a young woman's pursuit of ideas, art, and desire in the uneasy early days of Trump's America.'
Rebecca Godfrey, author of Under the Bridge and The Torn Skirt
