The Wastes is 1 YEAR & 1 DAY old. Very proud of it.

Holly Pester: Everyone read this… There’s so much done brilliantly here – food, class, home, mothers, work, sex.
Natalie Olah: Book of the year.
Tim Etchells: RCP’s book is great - really recommended. Sharp, thoughtful, vivid, sad. Funny too tho.
