A science educator in domestic chaos, fetishises, Scandinavian furniture, and champagne flutes. A group of white-collar deadbeats attend a swinger’s party in the era of drunk Muldoon. A pervasive smell seeps through the walls of a German housing block. A seabird performs at an open-mic night.
Bug Week
is a scalpel-clean examination of male entitlement, a dissection of death, an agar plate of mundanity. From 1960s Wellington to post-Communist Germany,
traverses the weird, the wry, and the grotesque in a story collection of human taxonomy.
