‘Extremely dark … laugh-out-loud funny’ GUARDIAN ‘The funniest book I’ve read for a long time’ DAVID NICHOLLS ‘Twistedly funny’ VINCENZO LATRONICO ‘Utterly ruthless’ NEW YORK TIMES LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN FICTION Written with the accomplished authority of a modern classic and the manic intensity of a loser's manifesto, Rejection radically redefines what it means to be rejected by lovers, friends, society and oneself. We see a tryhard male feminist's passionate allyship turn to a furious nihilism as he realises that his feminism isn’t getting him laid and a young woman’s unrequited crush spirals into borderline obsession. As these characters pop up in each other’s dating apps and social media feeds, or meet in dimly lit bars and bedrooms, they reveal the ways that our delusions can warp our desire for connection. A Book of the Year in Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New Yorker, NPR, Time Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Electric Literature and more. ‘Blistering … takes a magnifying glass to the mind of the internet age’ VOGUE ‘An excruciating examination of modern losers in psychic distress’ THE TIMES ‘Tulathimutte is a pervert and a madman and a stone-cold genius’ CARMEN MARIA MACHADO, author of In the Dream House ‘Audacious and painful and addictive … I loved it’ RUFI THORPE, author of Margo's Got Money Troubles ‘The funniest, darkest thing – it’s like Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground meets Instagram’ ST. VINCENT ‘You will be crawling out of your skin from the very first words’ JIA TOLENTINO, author of Trick Mirror
