Présentation de l'éditeur
'Dance like nobody gives a cr*p. Drink like you don't have a family to go home to. Love because what else is the point.'
Treats is a sharply authentic collection of short stories which pinpoint life in the twenty-first century.
Exploring the tyranny of choice, alienation, taxidermy, relationships, their aftermath, sexual ethics and self navigation, Lara Williams is an unusually insightful, darkly wry, and beautifully modern new voice.
Revue de presse
'What a wonderful collection. Very smart and VERY funny. A stunning mix of measured wisdom and raw emotion. I loved the connections between the stories, and the way ideas were subtly and steadily developed from beginning to end.' --Emma Jane Unsworth, author of Animals
'Maybe you meet someone. Maybe you fall in love. Maybe you break up. Maybe someone writes a book about your life. This is that book. Brilliant stories; awesome debut.' --Nicholas Royle, editor of Best British Short Stories 2015
'Funny and witty and sad and painfully self-aware.' --Chris Killen, author of The Bird Room and In Real Life
