Temper
‘Temper explores loneliness, alienation and transience in lucid, gorgeous prose. Walker’s observations on the nature of work and the hollowness of modern life are stark and brilliant; a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider’ —Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater and Milk Teeth
‘An intimate portrait of a young woman dislocated and adrift, Temper is at once subtle and full of force, deeply relatable and coolly unfamiliar’ —Chloe Ashby, author of Wet Paint
‘Phoebe Walker’s prose is subtle, incisive, and rich in dark surprises. In Temper, she provides an unsettling and highly intimate account of loneliness, disconnection and malignant relationships. This is a quietly devastating debut’ —Naomi Booth, author of Exit Management and Animals at Night
‘Poignant’ —The Indiependent
