A New Statesman, Irish Times and Guardian Book of the Year
A young, broke Irish woman narrates her relationship with a successful comedian in New York; two hapless university students take to the stage in a bid to assert their autonomy; a school teacher makes her way through a series of dead-end dates, gamely searching for love or distraction as the world teeters towards ruin.
The characters in these magnificently accomplished stories are haunted as much by the future as they are by their pasts. Urgent and unforgettable, Show Them a Good Time marks the arrival of a strikingly original new voice in fiction.
"Highly addictive"
Observer
"These stories are very funny, and very sad, usually at the same time. Which, as Flattery shows us brilliantly, is the best time"
Jon McGregor
"Exhilarating. Flattery's judgments crackle with cruel, clear sight ... Flattery writes with empathy, freedom and virtuosic technique"
Financial Times
"Smart as a whip, unusual, and very very funny, Flattery's distinctive prose is a real treat"
Claire-Louise Bennett
"Filled with dark, daring and compassionate fables of womanhood"
