Lauded as elegant (\u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e) and exhilarating (\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eAttrib. and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e won the James Tait Black Prize, was longlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, and was named a best book of the year by \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAttrib.\u003c\/i\u003e presents a cast of unforgettable characters standing at the precipice of emotional events (a disastrous breakup, a successful date, an unexpected arrival) and finding it fiendishly impossible to express themselves. With intimate, irreverent, and playful prose, Eley Williams rejoices in both the possibilities and limitations of language, as well as the very human need to be known and understood--despite our own best efforts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal and inventive in the vein of Lydia Davis, Deborah Eisenberg, and Amy Hempel, these stories are emotionally delicate and tenderly introspective (\u003ci\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/i\u003e) and an absolute must-read (\u003ci\u003eThe London Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50066378555665,"sku":"CIN059331235XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50120434221329,"sku":"GOR013862558","price":3.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50941241557265,"sku":"CIN059331235XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/059331235X.jpg?v=1751073344","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/attrib-and-other-stories-book-eley-williams-9780593312353","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
