<p>With unsentimental prose and ironic dialogue, Katie Boland brings to life a variety of characters who all have one thing in common&#8212;a need for something more. A literary debut by a refreshing new voice in fiction, the stories in <i>Eat Your Heart Out</i> are about the haunted and heartbroken, about dreamers, losers and love-lost souls. From a sixteen-year-old autistic savant who’s sleeping with his best friend’s mother, to a tattooed beauty coming to terms with an alcoholic parent, to a newspaper man forever changed by a tender drifter, to a grief counsellor trying to reconcile her own tragic loss, the stories examine the fragility of human relationships and why people love the way they do.</p><p>Bold, poignant and affecting, <i>Eat Your Heart Out</i> is a clear-eyed exploration of youth, life, love, sex and death.</p>
