'The loneliness and longing of the characters in Deliverywoman really stayed with me, I found these stories haunting and beautifully constructed.' - Daisy Johnson, author of The Hotel 'Eva Wyles has a knack for skewering life in all its messy glory and she does so with an unwavering eye. Visceral and deeply sexy, these stories wriggle under your skin and tug at you long after reading.' - Orlaine McDonald, author of No Small Thing Deliverywoman is the stunning debut collection from Eva Wyles - thirteen short stories that dive into the complexities of human connection, the pursuit of meaning, and modern-day loneliness. Across a diverse cast of characters - from teachers and gas station workers to hedonistic revellers and wealthy gamers - Wyles explores the strange dimensions of our world and the dangers of ordinary life, with needle-sharp writing both real and surreal. Deliverywoman sits alongside A.M.Homes' The Safety of Objects and Ottessa Moshfegh's Homesick for Another World, announcing the arrival of a powerful new voice in contemporary fiction.
