Worm diaries
PARTNERSHIP:
We believe the way a story is told is just as important as the story itself. Picador Books provides a platform for voices that are often not heard - publishing new and challenging fiction, transfixing non-fiction and the best contemporary poetry. Partnering with Worms, a magazine outside of conventional publishing that works across form and genre to bring experimental female and non-binary writers to the literary topsoil, sees the emergence of a unique collaboration that seeks to unite all the eccentric bookworms and asks you to think differently about literature.
BOOK: Sea Change by Gina Chung
READER: Enya
SYNOPSIS: Ro is stuck. She's just entered her thirties, she's estranged from her mother, and her boyfriend has just left her to join a mission to Mars. Her days are spent dragging herself to her menial job at an aquarium, and her nights are spent drinking sharktinis (mountain dew and copious amounts of gin, plus a hint of jalapeno). With her best friend pulling away to focus on her upcoming wedding, Ro's only companion is Dolores, a giant Pacific octopus who also happens to be Ro's last remaining link to her father, a marine biologist who disappeared while on an expedition when Ro was a teenager.
