Description
A Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by Good Morning America, W, Nylon, SheReads, and LitHub
"We count on our best young fiction writers to bring us news from the digital nervous system. Honor Levy . . . does so with special bite and élan." -Dwight Garner, The New York Times
From groundbreaking debut author Honor Levy, stories to delight and ensnare
My First Book marked the arrival of an undeniable new talent, emerging from the chaos of Gen Z coming-of-age and written in what The Guardian called "a strange language for a strange epoch." As the collection shows, the short story may be the ideal form to process and reflect our current era. Each story is a mirrorball onto the world as it is: panicky, uncertain, often hilarious, and ultimately sincere. Honor Levy's protagonists discover the infinite nature of love and wonder at mystical linguistic creation processes, but they also stand defeated outside of parties, getting rained on, and fall into the black glass of screen after screen.
To find and keep faith is the order of the day-but how?
