Filthy Animals - Brandon Taylor

A new collection of short stories by the Booker shortlisted author of Real Life. An encounter at a potluck dinner in Wisconsin leads to a three-way relationship between a lonely grad student, a dancer and his girlfriend. Half of Taylor’s stories follow the interconnection of these three magnetic characters and half are equally engaging stand-alone vignettes circling the themes of modern romance, disconnection, isolation, fragility, chaos and disruption, with a little dose of filth.

Perfect if you enjoyed: Real Life, Rainbow Milk, Luster, Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl or are interested in good relationship based contemporary fiction.
