LIFE***Across thirty striking tales Monika Radojevic weaves together the surreal with the
everyday confronting the experiences of contemporary womanhood with a tender ferocity shot
through with humour. A woman walks into a bar and nobody notices. A newly married couple are
punished for their childlessness with an unsettling nocturnal invasion. A girl trades her vocal
cords for a chance at freedom. A door-to-door salesperson offers the antidote to women's fear -
but it comes at a high price. Bubbling with an urgent rage that occasionally tips over into
vengeance Radojevic deftly charts the moments that make a life: from the warmth of first love
to the recognition of anger and the possibilities that take shape as we find or lose our
ability to speak. A Beautiful Lack of Consequence explores the ways in which the world bends
and breaks women with the pressure it puts on them - and what happens when those women snap
back. Moving and irreverent dark and otherworldly A Beautiful Lack of Consequence is a
blazing debut collection from the winner of the #Merky Books New Writers' Prize. ***'Thoughtful
