Publisher's Summary
The first ever story collection from the inimitable Lionel Shriver.
In her first ever story collection, Lionel Shriver illuminates one of the modern age’s most enduring obsessions: property.
A woman creates a deeply personal wedding present for her best friend; a thirty-something son refuses to leave home; a middle-aged man subjugated by service to his elderly father discovers that the last place you should finally assert yourself is airport security.
This landmark publication explores the idea of "property" in both senses of the word: real estate, and stuff. Immensely readable, it showcases the biting insight that has made Lionel Shriver one of the most acclaimed authors of our time.
Critic Reviews
Praise for The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047: "Shriver’s intelligence, mordant humour and vicious leaps of imagination all combine to make this a novel that is as unsettling as it is entertaining." (Financial Times)
"As ever, Shriver cuts close to the bone!... Distinctly chilling." (The Independent)
"A tale that fizzes with ideas and jokes.... the comedy is pitch black." (The Times)

Enjoyed every word
My own views on life are so akin to the author’s that hearing her tell her stories on this inflammatory subject - Property - were pure pleasure to me.
Cannot recommend this collection of stories highly enough.
