About this book

A brand-new collection from the award-winning poet, the companion piece to the <i>Sunday Times </i>bestselling <i>Slug</i><br /><b>'</b>Funny, so smart and refreshingly honest<b>' SARAH MILLICAN</b><br /><br /><b>'</b>Hollie McNish's words always sweep me away<b>' GIOVANNA FLETCHER</b><br /><br /><i>This book is written out of both hate and love for the world</i><br />As people, we are capable of both love and hate; amazement and disgust; fun and misery. So why do we live in a world that is constantly telling us to hate, both ourselves and others? <br /><br />We are told to be repulsed by our own bodies, bodies that let us laugh and sweat and eat toast; to be ashamed of pleasure; to be embarrassed by fun. <br /><br />In this collection, Hollie McNish brings her inimitable style to the question of what have been taught to hate, and if we might learn to love again.<br /><br /><b>'</b>Never have we needed her more<b>' </b><i> <b>STYLIST</b> </i><br /><br /><b>'</b>I've loved her work for years<b>' JO BRAND</b><br /><br /><b>'</b>She writes with honesty, conviction, humour and love<b>' KAE TEMPEST</b>
