This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

AN IRISH TIMES DEBUT AUTHOR TO LOOK OUT FOR 2025
A VULTURE BEST BOOK OF 2025

A woman finds herself navigating a co-dependent relationship with a ghost. A waitress gives birth to an egg during her breakfast shift. A doctor puts his patient on a cleanse to 'purify' her mind, body and soul.

Through playful but provocative prose, Rose Keating's stories traverse a realm both dreamlike and nightmarish, exposing - to the bone - the absurdities and horrors of the feminine experience. Oddbody prods a finger at societal norms, gleefully turns familiar tropes on their head and announces Keating as an audacious new voice in Irish fiction.

'Joyously diabolic' CAMILLA GRUDOVA
