The Tiny Wife

A magical short novel from the author of All My Friends are Superheroes. A robber holds up a Canadian bank but instead of stealing money he takes from each person the item of most sentimental value. As time passes the loss of these items have a dramatic effect on the victims: one discovers God under her sofa, another is attacked by her lion tattoo when it comes to life, and the wife of our narrator starts to shrink. It is a remarkable short novella, a modern fable that is weird, uplifting and romantic all at the same time. Kaufman’s debut novel, All My Friends are Superheroes, has become a significant word-of-mouth hit and garnered rave reviews from Marie Phillips, Toby Litt and others. It is soon to be made into a feature film. This hardback of Tiny Wife will be a gorgeous gift edition with illustrations. The Tiny Wife, a contemporary fiction by Andrew Kaufman, is a top-rated novel that beautifully intertwines romance and surrealism. Its unique narrative has earned it a place among the best stories of our time. For fans of Justin Cronin (The Ferryman), Tomasz Jedrowski (Swimming in the Dark), Natalia Ginzburg (Voices in the Evening), Matt Haig (The Radleys), and Sally Rooney (Beautiful World, Where Are You).
