Details

Intricately built and wickedly humorous, these five interconnected short stories are all about one thing: money.

From an interview with a child-star-turned-thief to the mysterious death of an employee at a drug manufacturer - or the couple feigning marital bliss to keep their inheritance, Ia Genberg carefully unravels the value we place on both money and people.

What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? How does our financial worth permeate the ways we think and feel? And what do we lose when we supposedly win? 
Small Comfort skewers its characters, slyly implicating the reader along the way.

A brilliantly original and thought-provoking collection from the author and translator of 
The Details, shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize.
