And speaking of book clubs - here’s one (featuring some lovely friends) discussing Deliverywoman @influxpress.bsky.social! Also outside

A pleasure to host this book club session on Yasmin Zaher’s The Coin at Crofton Books. Words used to describe it: surprising, cutting, amoral, annoying, engaging. Made for a vibrant discussion - and we got to sit outside!

'The loneliness and longing of the characters in Deliverywoman really stayed with me, I found these stories haunting and beautifully constructed.' – Daisy Johnson, author of The Hotel DELIVERYWOMAN by @evawyles.bsky.social www.influxpress.com/shop/deliver...

Starting one book before finishing another. Both of these very very good. Currently obsessed with Dino Buzatti’s stories in the The Bewitched Bourgeois from NYRB. Make that 3 books. Also still reading Moshfegh’s Rest & Relaxation, curious reading if you have ME and a v small baby. So 4.

'Haunting and beautifully constructed.' – Daisy Johnson Happy publication day to Eva Wyles, whose brilliant debut short fiction collection, Deliverywoman, is out now! www.influxpress.com/deliverywoman
