Tony Tulathimutte: Rejection

Join US author Tony Tulathimutte as he dissects the pain of being human in a brutally funny new collection of interlinked stories.

Audacious, original and at times viscerally disturbing, Rejection is a novel-in-stories that holds a merciless mirror to the bleak absurdities of modern life, from the horror of navigating sex and relationships to reconciling our online identities with our real-world selves.

Exploring everything from performative feminism and incel culture to one-night stands, internet addiction, compulsive porn consumption and the vacant evangelism of tech bros, these interlinked stories are as savage and unsettling as they are darkly funny. Make no mistake: Tony Tulathimutte might just be the sharpest, most unsparing chronicler of a generation.

On this unmissable evening, join Tulathimutte in conversation with Leah Jing McIntosh as he reflects on internet culture, finding humour in the abject and why genuine connection feels so elusive in a hyperconnected world.
