From the publisher
Strangers Who Talk is a riveting exploration of human connection, told through unforgettable stories that bridge the gaps between strangers.
"Strangers Who Talk isn’t like any other book. Is it social reportage, the eye at the keyhole, the ear at the door? Is it a cross between Ivy Compton Burnett, who wrote novels entirely composed of conversations, and Molly Bloom’s soliloquy at the end of Joyce’s Ulysses? Is it a study in textures and tones – the ripples on the pool of Being? Is it a collection of stones picked up at the beach – present, cherished, mute? ... Strangers Who Talk is all this, and not this at all. It is its own thing." – Margaret Atwood
"Fractured, haunting, intimate and totally original, Strangers Who Talk knocked the breath out of me. It’s dangerously exact, wilfully ambitious, wild in its scope and perfect in its precision." - Olivia Laing
