Barbara the Slut and Other People

â€œHolmes trains a precise lens on the millennial generationâ€™s mixed bag of manners, mores, and machinationsâ€¦ In [these] beautifully brazen stories, worlds collide in fresh, imaginative ways.â€ â€”ElleÂ

A fresh, honest, and darkly funny debut collection about family, friends, and lovers, and the flaws that make us most human.

Fearless, candid, and incredibly funny, Lauren Holmes is a newcomer who writes like a master. She tackles eros and intimacy with a deceptively light touch, a keen awareness of how their nervous systems tangle and sometimes short-circuit, and a genius for revealing our most vulnerable, spirited selves.
Â
In â€œDesert Hearts,â€ a woman takes a job selling sex toys in San Francisco rather than embark on the law career she pursued only for the sake of her father. In â€œPearl and the Swiss Guy Fall in Love,â€ a woman realizes she much prefers the company of her pit bullâ€”and herselfâ€”to the neurotic foreign fling who wonâ€™t decamp from her apartment. In â€œHow Am I Supposed to Talk to You?â€ a daughter hauls a suitcase of lingerie to Mexico for her flighty, estranged mother to resell there, wondering whether her personal missionâ€”to come outâ€”is worth the same effort. And in â€œBarbara the Slut,â€ a young woman with an autistic brother, a Princeton acceptance letter, and a love of sex navigates her high schoolâ€™s toxic, slut-shaming culture with open eyes.
Â
With heart, sass, and pitch-perfect characters, Barbara the Slut is a head-turning debut from a writer with a limitless career before her.
