Klappentext 'Mary South's wickedly, exquisitely hilarious collection dwells in the intimate aches of modern life, writ large in strange, delightful stories that include, but are not limited to, clones, brain surgery, internet trolls, and warehouses full of spare men. Dazzlingly imagined and full of wit, You Will Never Be Forgotten is a gift to readers everywhere.' Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine 'While Mary South's stories feature the cutting-edge technology of our present and near future, what makes this collection so exceptional is the deft hand with which she can peel back the sheen of novelty to get to the core of these characters' triumphs and struggles. With sharp insight and wit, South lays bare the timeless truths of love, loss and loneliness at the heart of these stories.' Sara Novic, author of Girl at War Zusammenfassung Brilliant, imaginative, original, satirical stories from an exciting young American writer – for fans for George Saunders and Ted Chiang.
