“GUNK BABY is fascinated with transcendence and breaking free from the hellscape; [Lau’s] prose combines the languid torpor of Michael Bible with the unease of Yoko Ogawa’s more macabre work. There is a sense here of quotidian life as essentially strange and unknowable—a world where Ty Dolla Sign might intone how ‘ego death is where you find happiness.'" ―Declan Fry, @Guardian "Taking aim at consumerism, class, and orientalism, GUNK BABY is an original and unforgettable read." —@Cosmopolitan With fierce intellect, sharp wit, and original prose, Jamie Marina Lau interprets and vividly portrays the everyday violence and toil of contemporary working life. A novel of millennial ennui and middle-class boredom, GUNK BABY is an inventive and deliberate work from a keen and astute new voice in Australian fiction.
