The south Wales Valleys, 23rd June, 2016. It's another long day chopping beef carcasses up at the slaughterhouse for former reality TV star and Iron Man contender, Caleb Jenkins, whose untroubled world unravelled when his old man's carpet business went bust last year, another casualty of the global financial crisis. While he's busy trying to manage the well-being of his conspiracy-theorist brother, the mortgage keeping a roof over his bankrupt parents' heads, his own excruciating grief, internal rage and impossible credit score, politicians of all persuasions are promising the scared and voiceless people around him real change.Desperate for acknowledgement and a transformation he can't quite bring about by his own means, Caleb is on the edge.Easy Meat is a glimpse of a young man and a country on the verge of a momentous decision.

Migrants, immigrants, travellers, and holidaymakers feature in Dylan Thomas Prize-winner Rachel Trezise's second collection of short fiction: in eleven dazzling stories of lives lived on either side of boundaries, and on the fringes of society.

Depicting the hard, brutal edges of childhood, this novel reveals grown-ups who fight, steal, get drunk, and get arrested--and then give kids a hard time for taking drugs.
