Book Description

Emotionally Weird is a playful, metafictional novel about Effie Stuart, a university student who recounts her chaotic upbringing and eccentric mother while attending a creative writing course in Dundee. As stories spiral within stories, the book gleefully subverts narrative expectations, exploring identity, authorship, truth, and the artifice of storytelling with sharp humor and invention.
