Description

The incendiary first novel from critically-acclaimed author Eliza Clark - 'an impressive, fiercely current debut' - i 'Hallucinogenic, electric and sharp.' - JESSICA ANDREWS 'Will make most readers howl with laughter and/or shut their eyes in horror.' - GUARDIAN.

Irina is in a rut.  She obsessively takes explicit photographs of average-looking men she scouts from the streets of Newcastle while her dead-end bar job slips away; she's more interested in drugs, alcohol, and extreme cinema. When she's offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery which promises to revive her career in the art world, it should feel like an escape.  But the news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, drawing in her obsessive best friend and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention . . .

BOY PARTS is the incendiary debut novel from Eliza Clark, a pitch-black comedy both shocking and hilarious, fearlessly exploring the taboos of sexuality and gender roles in the twenty-first century.
