Disquieting and hilarious, taut yet lyrical, blisteringly-paced but formally inventive,Bratis a mediation on grief, art and love that will leave you altered, breathless and desperate for more.

Smith is a major new talent.' Jordan Castro, author ofThe Novelist ';Gabriel Smith's jauntily creepy and hilarious tale of a grief-stalked scapegrace's sloughing-off and regeneration of selves in the filial murk of a moldering homestead is aPortrait of the Artist as a Young Manfor a new, quaking generation.Bratwill unnerve and seduce you.'
