Her story 'Track' won the 2017 White Review Short Story Prize. She is twenty-nine years old and lives in Galway.
Recenzii
Highly addictive
These stories are very funny, and very sad, usually at the same time. Which, as Flattery shows us brilliantly, is the best time
Exhilarating. Flattery's judgments crackle with cruel, clear sight ... Flattery writes with empathy, freedom and virtuosic technique
Smart as a whip, unusual, and very very funny, Flattery's distinctive prose is a real treat
Filled with dark, daring and compassionate fables of womanhood
Flattery tells the truth but tells it slant, so that from her sentences, to her symbolism, to her zany, often surrealist plots, her stories fizz with humour and surprise
Reverberates with a strange tension and fine sentences
I truly love and admire Nicole Flattery's writing. Show Them a Good Time is a masterclass in the short story - bold, irreverent and agonisingly funny - and it does full justice to its author's immense talent
A bright new voice in Irish literature. Think early Lorrie Moore, or the stories that launched Anne Enright's career. Flattery brings the reader through this world with ease, mixing the absurd with the workaday, trauma with humour
At its best, which is often, Flattery's prose has a thrilling relentlessness and rhythmical snap to it; it pummels and excites
Startling, daring and dazzlingly dark
Flattery is the latest wave of a recent dam burst of Irish talent, including Sally Rooney, Kevin Barry and Danielle McLaughlin. She has a true storyteller's ability to make a few words do a lot. The stories in Show Them a Good Time explore difficult questions about self-worth, agency and intimacy with thrilling sharpness
Like Sally Rooney, Flattery is adept at capturing millennial culture, but her voice is more distinctive in its daring, eccentric intelligence. This is a collection which lives up to its hype
Brutal, disorientating and bold . Filled with appetite, anger and compelling characters . Flattery is 29, and the themes that run through the work of many of the young Irish writers currently exhibiting such brilliant form - from Sally Rooney to Sinead Gleeson - also flit through her collection . Some of these pieces reminded me a lot of Deborah Levy, and particularly her earlier stories: brutal, disorientating, filled with appetite, anger and characters who seem to spring from nowhere and everywhere at the same time
There's laughter in the dark and darkness in the laughter in these fabulously astute stories that are at once surreal and more real than reality. Nicole Flattery is so good
If tradition is the kitchen sink, Flattery removes it from the wall, smashes it to pieces, and dances all over it with delight. With a literary voice that is as sophisticated and erudite as it is spiky and hilarious, Flattery has taken the short story format into an exciting, energetic, and multifaceted dimension
An urgent and exuberant debut short story collection
Not only distractingly brilliant, it will make you wild with envy
One of the best short story collections I've read in a long while . Bleakly hilarious, dark, weird. Read it!
This collection woke me up and sucked me in. By turns absurdist, frightening and funny, Flattery's writing is never less than dazzling
Irish women writers are on fire, and Nicole Flattery is yet a further brilliant example . Ten smart stories about dating, relationships and the absurdities of modern life
In recent years a vanguard of Irish writers, mostly women, has emerged to continue an Irish tradition: that of punching above its own literary weight. Flattery is its latest lodestar ... Flattery's work is striking from the get-go: exuberant, absurd, relevant but often oblique ... Tonally, [the stories] are at times reminiscent of the Greek film director Yorgos Lanthimos' deadpan, uncanny valley absurdism
This tour de force lurches into outright absurdism, and is reminiscent of acclaimed US author Nell Zink at her most playful. Flattery is a fresh new voice and I can't wait to see what she does next
The first time I read Nicole Flattery I was captivated - the voice, the word choice, the oddest dramaturgical line. I thought, my god, she could be the Irish Miranda July
A ridiculously fantastic, funny and daring writer
Show Them A Good Time by Nicole Flattery is enthralling from start to finish . Flattery is assured in her words, her style evident from page to page
I first encountered Nicole Flattery's work through the Stinging Fly, and I'm forever grateful I did
