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
