A UK debut from a fresh, prize-winning talent, this quietly surreal novel is perfect for fans of Sayaka Murata and Mieko Kawakami--Two friends meet across three dinners. In the back room of a pet shop, they snack on dried shrimps and discuss fish-breeding. In a remote new home in the mountains, they look for a solution to a weasel infestation. During a dinner party in a blizzard, a mounting claustrophobia makes way for uneasy dreams.  Their conversations often take them in surprising directions, but when one of the men becomes a father, more and more is left unsaid.  With emotional acuity and a wry humour, Weasels in the Attic it is an uncanny and striking reflection on fertility, masculinity, and marriage in contemporary Japan.--\"Oyamada is in complete control of her talent. A writer flexing their muscles and preparing for something truly profound\" - Japan Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40522971316321,"sku":"9781783789757","price":11.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_7781799_jpg.jpg?v=1709029899","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781783789757-weasels-in-the-attic","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
