In Persuasion Nation

In this short story collection, the master of the form employs his sharp satirical eye and inventive comic flair to devastating, genre-defying effect. Talking candy bars, baby geniuses, disappointed mothers, castrated dogs, interned teenagers and moral fables - all appear in these hilarious and heartbreaking stories. This generation's defining literary voice of wisdom and humour has never been more resonant, nor more necessary.
