Author(s): Emily Perkins

NZ Fiction

Not Her Real Name is the stylish and funny debut of a new international literary voice. Emily Perkins brings modern life into harsh comic focus with a cinematic vision for character and dialogue and a cast of young and painfully vulnerable metropolitans. With unnerving insight and wit these stories present an essential guide to post-modern romance, to the vagaries of city life and to a chronically self-absorbed generation whose love affairs are never as good as the last movies they've seen.
