‘When he invited me up to his flat, I nodded so vigorously I thought I might have pulled a muscle in my neck.’ Narcissists and night clubs in new fiction by Saba Sams. granta.com/gunk/

Finished Send Nudes by Saba Sams last night & loved it so much, I feel q emotional. Deeply relatable about how shame sticks to women; the humiliations of girlhood, how we are told our desires are ridiculous. Within each story: a bright flare of compassion, a small liberation 🍊✨

excited for this <3
