This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Winner of the 2023 BBC National Short Story Award - Couverture souple
Synopsis
In my life, I had always been good woman; controlling what it was that I wanted. But recently, I had started to notice my bad energy, and I began to follow it, wondering where it would take me . . .
A woman has an unexpected outburst at group therapy for returning parents at a large corporation, with devastating consequences. A couple find some long-overdue time to rekindle their relationship and make an ill-advised sex tape. A pregnant film director plots her revenge on the actress who betrayed her. An ex-wife causes conflict at her former husband's wedding.
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things illuminates the lives of malicious, subversive and untamed women. Exploring failed sisterhood, dubious parenting and the dark side of modern love, these powerful and funny stories offer a takedown on how society wants women to behave and show what happens when they refuse.
