The collection features the story Scrimshaw which was shortlisted for 2020 BBC National Short Story Award.</p><p><strong>Praise for Eley Williams:</strong></p><p><strong>She is a writer for whom one struggles to find comparison, because she has arrived in a class of her own Sarah Perry, author of <em>The Essex Serpent</em></strong></p><p><strong>Funny, playful and utterly bravura Melissa Harrison, <em>Financial Times</em></strong></p><p><strong>Its exhilarating to dive into the associative rush of Williamss writing <em>Vanity Fair</em></strong></p>...(*_*)9780008618957_<p><strong>A Granta Best Young British Novelist</strong></p><p><strong>A thrilling love for the stuff of language Magical</strong> JON McGREGOR</p><p><strong>Poignant and playful</strong> <em>DAILY MAIL</em></p><p><strong>A writer with few real rivals</strong> <em>IRISH TIMES</em></p><p><strong>A visionary writer</strong> JAN CARSON</p><p><strong>The stunning new collection of stories from the award-winning author of <em>The Liars Dictionary</em> and <em>Attrib. and Other Stories.</em></strong></p><p><em>Granta</em> Best Young British novelist and acclaimed author of <em>Attrib. and other stories</em>, Eley Williams returns with a thrilling collection of short stories exploring the nature of relationships both intimate and transient from the easy gamesmanship of contagious yawns to the horror of a smile fixed for just a second too long.</p><p>A courtroom sketch artist delights in committing portraits of their lover to paper but their need to capture likenesses forever is revealed to have darker, more complex intentions.
