Ashes to Admin - Tales from the...

Evie King

‘I’ve a body out the back for you...’  
 
Imagine having that sentence said to you. And then imagine it actually being pertinent. Welcome to Evie King’s world. 
 
What happens if you die without family or money? The answer to this very three-in-the-morning question is that Evie, or someone like her, will step in and arrange your funeral. 
 
Evie is a local council worker charged with carrying out Section 46 funerals under the Public Health Act. Or to put it in less cold, legislative language; funerals for those with nobody around, willing or able to bury or cremate them. 
 
Ashes to Admin lifts the coffin lid on some moving and unexpected personal life stories. Sometimes tragic, as with the case of an unidentified woman found on a beach buried without even a name, but often uplifting and occasionally hilarious. 
 
Ultimately, Evie discovers that her job is more about life than it is about death, funerals being for the living and death being merely a trigger to rediscover a life and celebrate it against the odds. 
 
This audiobook also includes the special bonus content: ‘A Blustery Conversation with Evie King & Stewart Lee.’

The stories in this book follow the different forms this curse has taken and how it foiled me as I travelled the world looking for love.?They?are personal and very specific stories about sex, dating, marriage and motherhood.??And about how sometimes the things that alter our paths lead us to the right place.?

What happens when a shopfront psychic tells Lally Katz her vagina is cursed? Is it a terrible scam or has a truth been spoken?

In My Cursed Vagina Lally shares the many forms this hex takes as she travels the world looking for love, compulsively writing down everything as she goes. These are hilarious and heartbreaking stories of disastrous dates, hopeful sex, straight-talking friendships, a surprise marriage, the adventure of motherhood and the strange gifts of illness, by a woman who embraces everything life has to offer. Importantly, this is a story about how sometimes the unexpected leads us to the place we should land.

'In this memoir, Lally takes the reader on a drunken, dare-devil ride into the depths of dramaturgy and disease. A poetic, no-nonsense reflection on a full creative life that may have only just begun, Lally's first book made me want to go back to whom I used to be. If you love TMI then this book is for you.' BRENDAN COWELL

'This is gold. There is only one Lally Katz.' CLAUDIA KARVAN

'Katz's book is completely addictive and mystical, just like her perspective on the world ... and her vagina.' YAEL STONE

'I only wish every book gave me as much pleasure as this one. Lally Katz is an original—the queen of TMI—and My Cursed Vagina is hilarious, fearless, and perfectly, absurdly candid. Is it wrong to hope for more drama in her life, just so she'll write a sequel?' STEVE TOLTZ
