Mommies All the Way Down delivers fourteen surreal stories that upend what we think we know about womanhood, motherhood, and the near-constant dread animating modern life. A woman inventories the chicken dishes she’s cooked for potential partners as a way of understanding her life. A young mother re-assesses her work history at a brothel that operates like a fight club. An aspiring painter shamefully conceals the full-size horse she neglects in her small apartment. A couple rescue a stray kitten and raise him as their son, eventually sending him off to university. An inexperienced writer poses as an incel in an online men’s chat room with unpredictable consequences. A tight-knit group of friends stage an intervention and send their “worst friend” to rehab for her personality.
Told with Frankie Barnet’s signature clear-eyed emotional precision and dry humour, these prismatic stories reveal a writer who nails the texture of living: the ongoing negotiations of power, unfulfilled ambition and desire, the relentless pressure of biology, and the search for safety. Reading these stories is a subversive gut-punch and proof that giving in to the absurd offers a satisfying thrill of recognition and relief.
