Cherry Picking Disasters

Yola Thurgood

Sinopse

A raucously funny collection of first-time sexual encounters that go spectacularly wrong in the most unexpected ways. From high-tech mishaps to automotive malfunctions, from DIY disasters to divine misunderstandings, this book chronicles ten outrageous stories of couples whose romantic plans collide with Murphy's Law in the most mortifying ways possible.
 
Each tale serves as a hilariously cautionary reminder that first times rarely unfold according to plan. With wit, warmth, and unflinching attention to cringe-worthy detail, Cherry Picking Disasters celebrates the beautifully imperfect nature of human intimacy. These stories prove that while we may carefully plan our most intimate moments, the universe often has other ideas entirely—and sometimes the disasters make for much better stories than perfection ever could.
 
A comedy collection for anyone who believes that laughter truly is the best medicine for life's most embarrassing moments, and a reminder that no matter how catastrophically your own first time unfolded, you're definitely not alone.

Frank O'Connor

Frank O'Connor was one of the twentieth century's greatest short story writers, and one of Ireland's greatest authors. Lilliput Press are now delighted to continue our publishing of O'Connor's writing by bringing his seminal work on the art of the short story back into print.   
The Lonely Voice is the definitive work of Irish non-fiction on the art of writing short fiction, and has long been held up as one of the greatest works in global literature on the short form. We are delighted to bring The Lonely Voice back into print with a brand new introduction by Kevin Barry, internationally recognised as one of Ireland's greatests short story writers, whose work - like O'Connor's before him - appears frequently in the New Yorker. Barry engages and parrys with O'Connor's writing, bringing about a meeting of great Irish short story writers from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and bringing this foundational piece of Irish writing to a new generation.   
The ideal companion to works such as George Saunders A Swim in a Pond in the Rain or John Yorke's Into the Woods: How Stories Work and Why we Tell Them.
