À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

Across thirty striking tales, Monika Radojevic weaves together the surreal with the everyday, confronting the experiences of contemporary womanhood with a tender ferocity shot through with humour.


A woman walks into a bar, and nobody notices. A newly married couple are punished for their childlessness with an unsettling nocturnal invasion. A girl trades her vocal cords for a chance at freedom. A door-to-door salesperson offers the antidote to women’s fear – but it comes at a high price.

Bubbling with an urgent rage that occasionally tips over into vengeance, Radojevic deftly charts the moments that make a life: from the warmth of first love to the recognition of anger, and the possibilities that take shape as we find or lose our ability to speak. A Beautiful Lack of Consequence explores the ways in which the world bends and breaks women with the pressure it puts on them – and what happens when those women snap back.

Moving and irreverent, dark and otherworldly, A Beautiful Lack of Consequence is a blazing debut collection from the winner of the #Merky Books New Writers’ Prize.

    Visceral, wild, and so beautifully necessary. (Salma El-Wardany, author of These Impossible Things)
    Radojevic’s stories and fragments are so sharp-edged they could draw blood. Fierce, funny and angry. (Catherine Mayer, author of Time/Life)
    Tender, humorous and moving
    Fuelled by rage, these fiery, staunchly women-centred stories are frighteningly real, but given a surreal slant that makes them all the more memorable
    Radojevic’s writing is lyrical and imaginative, and is often written in the second person, pulling the reader into the stories, which – in some of the heavier-themed pieces – makes for breathless reading . . . Read it and be angry
    Praise for Monika Radjoevic
    Courageous, arresting
    Powerful
    Radojevic's interrogation of the status quo . . . is not just interesting, it is agitating.
    Radojevic writes with an uncompromising fierceness, provocation and dedication to the physical body which acts as her most authentic, intuitive medium of expression. She offers with this collection a vital contribution to literature at a time when women's voices urgently need to be heard.
