These young women are feral yet attentive, fierce yet vulnerable, exploited yet exploitative.Threading between clubs at closing time, pub toilets, drenched music festivals and beach holidays, these unforgettable short stories deftly chart the treacherous terrain of growing up - of intense friendships, of ambivalent mothers, of uneasily blended families, and of learning to truly live in your own body.With striking wit, originality and tenderness, Send Nudes celebrates the small victories in a world that tries to claim each young woman as its own._____________________________________________________________________'A roiling, raw, gut-punch of a debut collection, best read in one sitting ...

Richtig großes Glück
Eine junge Frau auf der Suche nach Bedeutung: ein Campusroman über akademische Enttäuschungen und romantische Obsessionen.Was bedeutet es, ein Mensch zu sein? In ihrem letzten Studienjahr kämpft die Ich-Erzählerin darum, einen Platz in der Welt zu finden. Doch: Weder die Psychologievorlesungen über das Ritual des Geschenkemachens und die Klimakrise noch die weinseligen Treffen der Literary Society oder die obskuren Kunstaustellungen bringen sie weiter auf der Suche nach der großen Erkenntnis, die ihr die Universität versprochen hatte. Auch ihre Abschlussarbeit, für die sie stundenlang Videoaufnahmen von Kleinkindern auswerten muss, erscheint ihr sinnlos. Aufschlussreicher sind da die peinlichen Situationen im Wohnheim. Und die endlosen Gespräche mit Mitbewohner Luke. Vielleicht kann sie mit seiner Hilfe endlich das richtig große Glück finden? 'Richtig großes Glück' ist ein furioses Debüt mit einer ebenso einzigartigen wie unmissverständlichen Stimme und erzählt scharfsinnig, herrlich ironisch und völlig verzweifelt von den universellen Erfahrungen einer Studentin.
