More info about this month's book:
Irina is a young woman living in Newcastle and spends most of her time obsessively photographing men she persuades to model for her. She finds men on the streets and photographs them, turning the pictures into artwork that is both disturbing and fascinating.
When she’s offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery, Irina sees it as her chance to escape from her toxic bar job and restart her stalled career in the art world. But what begins as an opportunity quickly spirals into something darker.
As Irina navigates her obsession with her best friend, her entanglement with a shy supermarket worker, and the pull of drugs, alcohol, and extreme cinema, her carefully curated world begins to fall apart in a million pieces.
In Boy Parts, Eliza Clark delivers a pitch-black comedy that is sharp, shocking, and fearless. With biting humor and unflinching honesty, the novel explores taboo themes of sexuality, self-destruction, and gender roles in the twenty-first century. At once provocative and captivating, it’s a story that dares to look into the darkest corners of desire and creativity.
