She's Always Hungry: Stories

by Eliza Clark

Overview

From Eliza Clark, the author of the brilliant novels Boy Parts and Penance and one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists, comes a fierce, visionary and darkly comic story collection.

A woman welcomes a parasite into her body.

A teenager longs for perfect skin.

A young man takes the night into his own hands. 

Unsettling, revelatory, and laced with her signature dark humor, Eliza Clark’s debut short story collection plumbs the depths of that most basic human feeling: hunger.

Editorial Reviews

"Her writing embraces the socially unacceptable, and wryly explores themes of gender, power and violence." — Granta Best of Young British Novelists 2023, on Penance

“Clark shrewdly turns her own lens onto us, onto our obsession with true crime and our complicity in the industry it has spawned. . . . She is disturbingly gifted at inventing unrealities that feel uncannily believable.” — New York Times Book Review on Penance

"A work of show-stopping formal mastery and penetrating intelligence." — Guardian on Penance
