AN IRISH TIMES DEBUT AUTHOR TO LOOK OUT FOR 2025A VULTURE BEST BOOK OF 2025A woman finds herself navigating a co-dependent relationship with a ghost. A waitress gives birth to an e gg during her breakfast shift. A doctor puts his patient on a cleanse to 'purify' her mind, body and soul. Through playful but provocative prose, Rose Keating's stories traverse a realm both dreamlike and nightmarish, exposing - to the bone - the absurdities and horrors of the feminine experience. Oddbody prods a finger at societal norms, gleefully turns familiar tropes on their head and announces Keating as an audacious new voice in Irish fiction.'Joyously diabolic' CAMILLA GRUDOVA'Dark and sumptuous and unapologetically peculiar' LISA McINERNEY'Marvellously unnerving' ERIC LaROCCA Show more
