Stinkbug

‘This is a cool, deadly nightmare of a book, its dream logic an exact caricature of where we seem to be headed.’ * The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald *‘Sinéad has a knack for ending chapters with iconic twists and unexpected shocks.’ * The Australian Women’s Weekly *‘If you like your humour wry and morbid, this is for you.’ * Country Style *‘Stubbins’ signature flavour of black humour shines in her new novel and will be enjoyed by anyone needing an escape from their daily grind.’ * Books+Publishing *‘Wicked little satire.’ * The Canberra Times *‘Like a chunnering conversation with your worst colleague, Stinkbug is claustrophobic. Stubbins faithfully captures the cadences of corporate small talk and dials them up into a nightmarish cacophony of efficiency reports and pitch decks. You’ll want to work from home for ever.’ * The Guardian *‘A fun, slightly unhinged book that will make you glad you’re off on holiday, not stuck at work.’ * Fashion Journal *‘Stinkbug will have you squirming one minute and laughing the next. [It] is, simply, delicious fun.’ – Meredith Jaffe‘Stinkbug’s tongue-in-cheek examination of retreats and workplace culture highlights the flaws of our world.’ * ArtsHub *‘A form of snarky cathartic escapism, which Sinéad Stubbins delivers in spades in Stinkbug.’ * Readings Monthly *
