Reward System

''Reward System is an exhilarating and beautiful book by an extraordinarily gifted writer. Reading these stories, I found myself thinking newly and differently about contemporary life.'' SALLY ROONEY Julia has landed a fresh start - at a ''pan-European'' restaurant. ''Imagine that,'' says her mother. ''I''m imagining.'' Nick is flirting with sobriety and nobody else. Did you know: adults his age are now more likely to live with their parents than a romantic partner? Life should have started to take shape by now - but instead we''re trying on new versions of ourselves, swiping left and right, and searching for a convincing answer to that question: ''What do you do?'' Reward System is a set of ultra-contemporary and electrifyingly fresh fictions, of a generation of the cusp, meshed in Zooms and lockdowns, loneliness and love.
