Publisher's Synopsis

A GUARDIAN BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR 2024

AN OBSERVER BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR 2024

A NEW STATESMAN BOOK TO LOOK OUT FOR 2024

Mammoth's protagonist is a disenchanted young lesbian. She's inexperienced, irritated by life, eager to gestate, and determined to strip everything else down to essentials. She seduces men at random, swaps her urban habitat for an isolated farmhouse, befriends a shepherd, nurses lambs, battles stray cats, waits tables, cleans house, and dabbles in sex work - all in pursuit of life in the raw.

This small bomb of a novel, not remotely pastoral, builds to a howling crescendo of social despair, leaving us at the mercy of Eva Baltasar's wild voice.

About the Publisher

And Other Stories

We publish writing that is mind-blowing, often "challenging" (Maureen Freely) and "shamelessly literary" (Stuart Evers) - opening a space for exploration and discovery. It's up for debate. We publish world-class writing, not "world writing". So far we have concentrated on translations because there are so many amazing writers currently not available to readers in English.
