Produktbeschreibung

A sleeper hit in Australia, Grimmish was the first self-published book to be nominated for the Miles Franklin literary award in the prize's 65-year history. The author told The Guardian that "one publisher called my book repellent" but it's found a large cult following down under.

4.21/5 stars on Goodreads from 82 ratings. Reviews include: "The funniest book about suffering and pain you'll ever read"; "The book is an enigmatic but energetic piece of 'exploded historical fiction.' Impossible not to be reminded of David Foster Wallace - stories within stories, narrators begetting narrators, and plenty of perambulation"; "a wild, beguiling ride. And all hail the return of the footnote"; "No review of this book will ever be able to do it justice as the book is literally indescribable. An instant classic of Australian literature that deserves to be re-read and remembered for many years."
