A UK debut from a fresh, prize-winning talent, this quietly surreal
novel is perfect for fans of Sayaka Murata and Mieko Kawakami Two
friends meet across three dinners. In the back room of a pet shop,
they snack on dried shrimps and discuss fish-breeding. In a remote
new home in the mountains, they look for a solution to a weasel
infestation. During a dinner party in a blizzard, a mounting
claustrophobia makes way for uneasy dreams. Their conversations
often take them in surprising directions, but when one of the men
becomes a father, more and more is left unsaid. With emotional
acuity and a wry humour, Weasels in the Attic it is an uncanny and
striking reflection on fertility, masculinity, and marriage in
contemporary Japan.
