THE INSTANT CULT CLASSIC FROM THE WINNER OF THE O. HENRY PRIZE
тАШFull of dark, deadpan humour, Brat is a raucous story of the messy, messed-up business of living, dying and having a family.тАЩ Financial Times
тАШA moving coming-of-age family storyтАЩ Observer
'Beautifully written, hilarious, and heartbreaking'┬аDaily Mail
'A raw, delicate tale about grief and growing up' The New Yorker┬а
'Iconic', Radio 1
'The novel crackles with gothic horror, deadpan humor, and a damning sense of alienation that you wonтАЩt soon shake.'┬аChicago Review of Books
'Instead of resolving his novelтАЩs many mysteries, Smith explores how this family navigates the disputed borders of its shared memories, pondering what it means to choose one story over anotherтАФas well as the consequences of refusing to choose, especially in the wake of grief.'┬аThe New York Times
┬а---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GabrielтАЩs skin is falling off.
┬а
His dad is dead.
┬а
He owes his editor a novel.
┬а
His girlfriend wonтАЩt answer his calls.
┬а
Tasked by his horribly well-adjusted brother with clearing out the family home for sale, GabrielтАЩs sanity quickly begins to unravel. His parentsтАЩ old manuscripts appear to change each time he reads them. A bizarre home video hints at long-buried secrets. And thereтАЩs a hideous man in the garden.
Disquieting and hilarious, taut yet lyrical, blisteringly-paced but formally inventive,┬аBrat┬аis a mediation on grief, art and love that will leave you altered, breathless and desperate for more.┬а
┬а
From a stunningly original new talent, this is a debut novel unlike anything you have read before.┬а
