A Beautiful Lack of Consequence

Visceral, wild, and so beautifully necessary. – Salma El-Wardany, author of These Impossible ThingsRadojevic’s stories and fragments are so sharp-edged they could draw blood. Fierce, funny and angry. – Catherine Mayer, author of Time/LifeTender, humorous and moving * Cosmopolitan *Fuelled by rage, these fiery, staunchly women-centred stories are frighteningly real, but given a surreal slant that makes them all the more memorable * Daily Mail *Radojevic’s writing is lyrical and imaginative, and is often written in the second person, pulling the reader into the stories, which – in some of the heavier-themed pieces – makes for breathless reading … Read it and be angry * Mslexia *Praise for Monika Radjoevic * - *Courageous, arresting * Independent *Powerful * Stylist *Radojevic’s interrogation of the status quo … is not just interesting, it is agitating. * Bad Form *Radojevic writes with an uncompromising fierceness, provocation and dedication to the physical body which acts as her most authentic, intuitive medium of expression. She offers with this collection a vital contribution to literature at a time when women’s voices urgently need to be heard. * HUCK *
