NUDES: Visceral short fiction from the formidable Elle Nash
Featured Speakers
Elle Nash & Anahit Behrooz
Nash writes across the complications of working class women, rendering their desires with visceral prose and psychologically dissecting the fundamental root that threads her work: craving and the conflicts within. Her new collection Nudes begins with a story of an ex sex-worker drifting through a small rural town in the south, and ends with a young woman’s wedding night, who learns from her new husband what it takes to kill a man.
We're thrilled to welcome back the author of shop favourite Animals Eat Each Other for a celebration of her wicked short stories. Nudes promises to leave you a little excited, aroused, torn, upset, or rooting for a character you may have not expected to root for. Some of you may be heartstricken.
"Nudes is a collection that feels multigenerational. It crawls across the soggy cigarette ash carpets of single wide America to upscale apartments and the discolored bathtubs of suicide motels. Elle Nash shows the ugly venal addictions of a post-last call society." Jake Blackwood
