A novelist questions why shes been shortlisted for the Prize of Prizes Prize; an artist duo has a messy break up; a schoolgirl is saved from a predator by a flash flood and a gang of dead animals; a surgeon has an incurable identity crisis; a budding actor cant see whats so funny; a pregnant food writer gets a craving for luxury consumerism. These thirteen stories by writer and literary translator Jen Calleja pick apart the hidden motivations behind our desires, and the ways we seek out distraction from difficult truths. They investigate histories, power dynamics, rituals, institutions the roles we adopt, as well as the ones we inherit. Known for her acclaimed poetry and translations, and as a performer in numerous bands, these facets manifest in an attention to the latent ambivalence of language, and the nature of storytelling itself. This writing is direct and considered it asks to be read, read out loud, retold, refashioned into fables with a distinctive mouthfeel. Im Afraid Thats All Weve Got Time For is a sharp, bold, inventive and prescient fictional debut from a versatile and brilliant writer.

Calleja's debut poetry collection Serious Justice was critically acclaimed and her move into fiction is highly anticipated. Its exploration of different forms of power resonates profoundly with current discourses and the #MeToo movement. Calleja has already established herself as an important and exciting voice, and is well known and respected across the poetry, translation, critical and wider literary communities and was recently shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize for her work as a translator.
