'If you've been waiting for someone to close the gap on social
distancing, to capture the furtive problems of social media, to
make you laugh at your own alienation, to wrap your mind around the
narcissism of small differences, then Calder is your new best
friend, and his debut collection is the must-read book of the
year.' Andrew O'Hagan Julia has landed a fresh start as a chef at
an up-and-coming city restaurant. Her ex-boyfriend, Nick, is
flirting with sobriety and nobody else. Life should have started to
take shape by now, but instead they're trying to make new versions
of themselves, searching for a good answer to the question: 'What
do you do?' 'An exhilarating and beautiful book by an
extraordinarily gifted writer.' Sally Rooney 'Remarkably fresh . .
. Calder's writing achieves that rare thing of capturing how it
feels to be young.' Esquire
For fans of Patricia Lockwood and Ben Lerner, audacious fictions of
a generation wondering: what now? ** Chosen as a Guardian, White
Review and NPR Book of the Year 2022 ** 'Reward System is an
exhilarating and beautiful book by an extraordinarily gifted
writer. Reading these stories, I found myself thinking newly and
differently about contemporary life.' SALLY ROONEY Julia has landed
a fresh start - at a 'pan-European' restaurant. 'Imagine that,'
says her mother. 'I'm imagining.' Nick is flirting with sobriety
and nobody else. Did you know: adults his age are now more likely
to live with their parents than a romantic partner? Life should
have started to take shape by now - but instead we're trying on new
versions of ourselves, swiping left and right, searching for a
convincing answer to that question: 'What do you do?' Reward System
is a set of ultra-contemporary and electrifyingly fresh fictions
about a generation of the cusp; the story of two people enmeshed in
Zooms and lockdowns, loneliness and love.
