HTML:<b>INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER&#160;<br /> WINNER OF THE STORY PRIZE<br /> SHORTLISTED FOR THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE<br /> NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY USA TODAY<i>,</i> NPR, <i>VULTURE</i>, <i>MARIE CLAIRE</i>, <i>THE TIMES OF LONDON</i>, <i>GOOD HOUSEKEEPING</i>, AND <i>PUBLISHERS WEEKLY</i><br /> A group portrait of young adults enmeshed in desire and violence, a hotly charged, deeply satisfying new work of fiction from the author of Booker Prize finalist <i>Real Life</i></b><br /> In the series of linked stories at the heart of <i>Filthy Animals</i>, set among young creatives in the American Midwest, a young man treads delicate emotional waters as he navigates a series of sexually fraught encounters with two dancers in an open relationship, forcing him to weigh his vulnerabilities against his loneliness. In other stories, a young woman battles with the cancers draining her body and her family; menacing undercurrents among a group of teenagers explode in violence on a winter night; a little girl tears through a house like a tornado, driving her babysitter to the brink; and couples feel out the jagged edges of connection, comfort, and cruelty.<br /> One of the breakout literary stars of 2020, Brandon Taylor has been hailed by Roxane Gay as “a writer who wields his craft in absolutely unforgettable ways.” With <i>Filthy Animals</i> he renews and expands on the promise made in <i>Real Life</i>, training his precise and unsentimental gaze on the tensions among friends and family, lovers and others. Psychologically taut and quietly devastating, <i>Filthy Animals</i> is a tender portrait of the fierce longing for intimacy, the lingering presence of pain, and the desire for love in a world that seems, more often than not, to withhold it.
