Praise for Lauren Holmes "It's been a long time since I've read a collection of stories in one sitting-but this is a book I couldn't put down. . . . An outstanding debut, refreshing and exciting, complex and really funny." -Nathan Englander "A wonderful debut from a profound and sassy new voice . . . Lauren Holmes is a young writer of great talent, and Barbara the Slut is a book that marks the beginning of a long literary career." -Colum McCann, Praise for Lauren Holmes Named "A Book You Need to Read in 2015" by the Village Voice "Simultaneously hilarious and deeply insightful. Written with honesty and heart, Holmes's characters are delightfully real." --Buzzfeed, "Awesome New Books to Read This Summer" "This sharp, sensitive...unwaveringly perceptive debut collection...is eminently sympathetic, insightful, and revealing, never regarding its characters with ridicule or derision, always with respect and compassion...The people limned here are people we know. They may even be the people we are. A first-rate first collection from a young writer you'll want to hear more from." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "First-time author Lauren Holmes has an uncanny way of breathing life into the fictional characters in her debut." -- "21 New Authors You Need to Know," Refinery 29 "An eminently readable debut from a fresh voice...Holmes writes with ease and humor...wonderful."-- Publisher's Weekly (starred) "A Granta 2014 New Voice, Holmes explores a range of intriguing scenarios in this first collection... a writer to watch" -- Library Journal "It's been a long time since I've read a collection of stories in one sitting--but this is a book I couldn't put down. . . . An outstanding debut, refreshing and exciting, complex and really funny." --Nathan Englander "A wonderful debut from a profound and sassy new voice . . . Lauren Holmes is a young writer of great talent, and Barbara the Slut is a book that marks the beginning of a long literary career." --Colum McCann "Lauren Holmes's stories are hilarious and moving and powerful and all that other stuff people seem to like in books, but that's not why they stay with you. They stay with you because she's articulating with devastating precision something unique about the strange times we live in, something unique about who we are and who we become as we navigate our way through the demands of our friends, our families, our culture, and the wild, unreasonable desires that well up within us." --Phil Klay "An astonishing collection--one of those rare books that manages to be both poignant and hilarious. The last time we had a debut this big was Junot Díaz with Drown . Holmes is a major talent." --Philipp Meyer "Without so much as a beat out of place, Barbara the Slut and Other People is a collection of piercing insight, sublime wit and powerful depth. These stories will make you fall in love, break your heart, and build you up again. Lauren Holmes's writing is taut and scalpel-like and like the best practitioners, sends pulses into the dark underwaters of the human psyche while we sit at the page and listen for the echo." --Bill Cheng "Lauren Holmes writes my all-time favorite brand of fiction: Deceptively Simple. These are stories that you can't help but inhale, then trouble over gloriously after they've ended." --Alicia Erian, Praise for Lauren Holmes Named "A Book You Need to Read in 2015" by the Village Voice and a Best Book of the Spring and Summer by Buzzfeed, Esquire, Bustle, L Magazine, Ms. Magazine, and WBUR "Like the best work of Mary Gaitskill, Barbara the Slut turns our obsession with sex on its head in order to study it, dissect it, weaponize it. Case in point: the promiscuous high school student who finds the word slut painted on her locker. Where other young women might buckle at the slur, she likes the color of paint the vandals used. She refuses to be shamed, and her refusal is empowering, rare, and well, pretty sexy." -- Esquire , Summer Reading List "Simultaneously hilarious and deeply insightful. Written with honesty and heart, Holmes's characters are delightfully real." --Buzzfeed, "Awesome New Books to Read This Summer" "Super funny...honest [and] open" --Bustle "This sharp, sensitive...unwaveringly perceptive debut collection...is eminently sympathetic, insightful, and revealing, never regarding its characters with ridicule or derision, always with respect and compassion...The people limned here are people we know.

Synopsis
"Holmes trains a precise lens on the millennial generation's mixed bag of manners, mores, and machinations... In [these] beautifully brazen stories, worlds collide in fresh, imaginative ways." -- Elle A fresh, honest, and darkly funny debut collection about family, friends, and lovers, and the flaws that make us most human. Fearless, candid, and incredibly funny, Lauren Holmes is a newcomer who writes like a master. She tackles eros and intimacy with a deceptively light touch, a keen awareness of how their nervous systems tangle and sometimes short-circuit, and a genius for revealing our most vulnerable, spirited selves. In "Desert Hearts," a woman takes a job selling sex toys in San Francisco rather than embark on the law career she pursued only for the sake of her father. In "Pearl and the Swiss Guy Fall in Love," a woman realizes she much prefers the company of her pit bull--and herself--to the neurotic foreign fling who won't decamp from her apartment. In "How Am I Supposed to Talk to You?" a daughter hauls a suitcase of lingerie to Mexico for her flighty, estranged mother to resell there, wondering whether her personal mission--to come out--is worth the same effort. And in "Barbara the Slut," a young woman with an autistic brother, a Princeton acceptance letter, and a love of sex navigates her high school's toxic, slut-shaming culture with open eyes. With heart, sass, and pitch-perfect characters, Barbara the Slut is a head-turning debut from a writer with a limitless career before her., "Holmes trains a precise lens on the millennial generation's mixed bag of manners, mores, and machinations...
