In other stories, a young woman battles with the cancers draining her body and her family; menacing undercurrents among a group of teenagers explode in violence on a winter night; a little girl tears through a house like a tornado, driving her babysitter to the brink; and couples feel out the jagged edges of connection, comfort, and cruelty. One of the breakout literary stars of 2020, Brandon Taylor has been hailed by Roxane Gay as “a writer who wields his craft in absolutely unforgettable ways.” With Filthy Animals he renews and expands on the promise made in Real Life , training his precise and unsentimental gaze on the tensions among friends and family, lovers and others. Psychologically taut and quietly devastating, Filthy Animals is a tender portrait of the fierce longing for intimacy, the lingering presence of pain, and the desire for love in a world that seems, more often than not, to withhold it. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cRiverhead Books, |d2021.|nRequires Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 5 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB). 650 7 African American Fiction.|2OverDrive 650 7 Literature.|2OverDrive 650 7 Short Stories.|2OverDrive 650 17 Fiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9780525538912 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/5809989 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1523-1/ %7B65F4230C-23EF-4709-A467-90C7ED2166FE%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1523-1/ %7B65F4230C-23EF-4709-A467-90C7ED2166FE%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
