The Tightarse Tuesday Book Club

This dazzling story collection is full of surprises. Hookup Hell is a comic romance in the age of Tinder. Eleven is a haunting tale of obsession. And Marla Okadigbo is a savage satire of race relations in America today.Covering an extraordinary range of topics and styles The Tightarse Tuesday Book Club is bold funny and hugely entertaining.Duncan Smith is for me one of Australias best and most original writers. Smith never pulls back from ideas and issues and will explore them regardless of what people may think. This his second book of short stories is a good addition to his recent novels. There is a range of material here from absurdist fantasy to social commentary. Highly recommended!D. R. Byers.
