Description
From the two-time Giller Prize-winning author, comes a sharply incisive new short story collection excavating desire, love, connection and belonging
A child watches his father toy with a prospective affair.
A couple running a restaurant struggles to fit their relationship into their new life in a new country.
A woman evades her married co-worker’s advances.
And a cashier clashes with the mother of her new husband, a man she knew only three days before their marriage.
A fiercely intelligent and incisive collection about often-overlooked characters in the grip of desire, Crush confirms Souvankham Thammavongsa as one of our most skilled short story writers today.
