Mammals, I Think We Are Called
Giselle Leeb’s debut short story collection, ‘Mammals, I Think We Are Called’, is published by Salt (Oct 22) in their Salt Modern Stories series.
Ambitious and playful, darkly humorous and imaginative, these strikingly original stories move effortlessly between the realistic and the fantastical, as their outsider characters explore what it’s like to be human in the twenty-first century. Whether about our relationship with the environment and animals, technology, social media, loneliness, or the enormity of time, they reflect the complexities of being alive. Beautifully written and compelling, you won’t read anything else like them.
