'With Teeth is a wonderfully sticky novel about motherhood,
partnership, sex and love. Kristen Arnett lets her characters have
the run of the place, and it's delicious fun to watch them do, say,
and think things they'll regret' Emma Straub, author of All Adults
Here 'Sublimely weird, fluently paced, brazenly funny and gayer
still' Naoise Dolan, New York Times 'A darkly funny, brutally
honest story about a woman undone by motherhood . . . With Teeth
digs in deep and doesn't let go. I truly loved it' Jennifer Weiner,
bestselling author of Mrs Everything and That Summer If she's being
honest, Sammie Lucas is scared of her son. Working from home in the
close quarters of their Florida house, she lives with one wary eye
peeled on Samson, a sullen, unknowable boy who resists her every
attempt to bond with him. Uncertain in her own feelings about
motherhood, she tries her best - driving, cleaning, cooking,
prodding him to finish projects for school - while growing
increasingly resentful of Monika, her confident but absent wife. As
Samson grows from feral toddler to surly teenager, Sammie's life
begins to deteriorate into a mess of unruly behaviour, and her
struggle to create a picture-perfect queer family unravels. When
her son's hostility finally spills over into physical aggression,
Sammie must confront her role in the mess - and the possibility
that it will never be clean again. Blending the warmth and wit of
Arnett's breakout hit, Mostly Dead Things, with a candid take on
queer family dynamics, With Teeth is a thought-provoking portrait
of the delicate fabric of family - and the many ways it can be torn
apart.
