Fruit Fly

Praise for Fruit Fly:
“Fruit Fly is savage and darkly hilarious. A pointed satire of publishing with flawed, fascinating characters.”
—Juno Dawson, bestselling author of Her Majesty’s Royal Coven

“Absolutely unforgettable. A raw, visceral triumph that echoes modern classics like Trainspotting, Young Mungo, and A Little Life, yet stands entirely on its own. Strikingly original and deeply human—this book will live rent-free in your mind long after the final page. I loved it.”
—John Marrs, author of You Killed Me First

“Dark, haunting, gripping, psychologically messy, heartbreaking but also darkly funny. An absolute masterpiece.”
—Kate Weston, author of You May Now Kill the Bride

“Josh has a fantastic, distinctive voice. The writing is as fearless as the characters are fearful. Bold, raw, uncomfortable, and very, very funny.”
—Jonathan Harvey, BAFTA and Olivier Award-nominated actor, screenwriter, and author

“Fruit Fly is sharp, propulsive, and deeply humane, a story about people in freefall written with such clarity, dark humour, and compassion that you can’t stop turning the pages. It’s a novel that subverts our usual narratives about trauma and illness, healing and redemption, a riotous, tender tale of people writing their own rulebooks. Josh Silver’s adult debut is a must-read.”
—Seth Insua, author of Human, Animal
