Waterstones Says

Effortlessly swaying from darkly disturbing to riotously funny, Eliza Clark’s clever and fearless novel about a photographer hunting for average-looking men for explicit shots is a perceptive window into sexual taboos and gender roles in the twenty-first century.

Granta Best of Young Bristish Novelists 2023

Irina is in a rut. She obsessively takes explicit photographs of average-looking men she scouts from the streets of Newcastle while her dead-end bar job slips away; she's more interested in drugs, alcohol, and extreme cinema. When she's offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery which promises to revive her career in the art world, it should feel like an escape. But the news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, drawing in her obsessive best friend and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention . . .

Boy Parts is the incendiary debut novel from Eliza Clark, a pitch-black comedy both shocking and hilarious, fearlessly exploring the taboos of sexuality and gender roles in the twenty-first century.

Boy Parts exists in the space we are in right now. It's highly referential. Our narrator, Irina, obsessively takes sexually explicit photographs of men she scouts from the likes of Tesco. She stalks her best... More

“Wonderfully disturbing”

Best book I've read so far this year. Dark, disturbing, thought provoking and, at times, really funny. A brilliant thrill ride of a book, reminded me of American Psycho with a dash of Killing Eve. I loved it
