Winner of New Zealand'S 1999 Montana Book Award.

In his first story collection, Brandt presents hilarious but poignant portraits of the first post-feminist generation.

A brutal and very funny update on the male psyche. These stories are beautifully written, breath-taking in their psychological detail. They are also, ultimately, unexpectedly moving. - Emily Perkins

Brandt accurately sums up the insecurities of the post-feminist male and nowhere more brilliantly than in 'The Jean Paul Sarte Experience' . . . Witty and evocative, this piece of surreal necrophilia alone is worth the cover price. - Metro

Brandt's comic touch is sure and wicked . . . This is an accomplished and hugely entertaining new voice in New Zealand fiction. - Evening Post
