Rejection

`Extremely dark … laugh-out-loud funny` - GUARDIAN `The funniest book I`ve read for a long time` - DAVID NICHOLLS `Addictive … I loved it!` - RUFI THORPE `Utterly ruthless` - NEW YORK TIMES LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN FICTION Written with the accomplished authority of a modern classic and the manic intensity of a loser`s manifesto, Rejection radically redefines what it means to be rejected by lovers, friends, society and oneself. We see a tryhard male feminist`s passionate allyship turn to a furious nihilism as he realises that his feminism isn`t getting him laid and a young woman`s unrequited crush spirals into borderline obsession. As these characters pop up in each other`s dating apps and social media feeds, or meet in dimly lit bars and bedrooms, they reveal the ways that our delusions can warp our desire for connection.
