jaclyncrupi 's review for:
Smart Ovens for Lonely People
by Elizabeth Tan
An incredibly clever, weird and wonderful collection from Elizabeth Tan who is fast becoming one of my favourite young Australian writers. She tackles the absurdities of late capitalism with razor sharp insights and truly inventive writing – the kind of writing that gets you excited about the possibilities of writing. If you missed her debut novel-in-stories Rubik, this collection would be an excellent way to see Tan’s experimental and piercing talent. I loved all of these stories but the titular story is one of my absolute favourites.
