Faulty Manufacturing

Meer over het boek

How do you grieve for someone when your relationship was... complicated? After her father died in 2017, Josie Alford began writing her debut collection. Faulty Manufacturing is defined by the fractured nature of memory and tracks the development of grief from the immediacy of knowing to learning to live with death. The collection explores themes of addiction, domestic violence and guilt and holds space for relief, joy and hope. With deliciously jarring humour, Josie Alford shows grief comes in many forms, she gives it a sparkly jacket.
