Strange Nervous Laughter is, quite simply, a brilliantly told story of what love does to us - and how our lives are changed by being in love, out of love, or on the brink between the two.
Set in the hottest summer Durban has ever known, this debut novel follows six rather quirky characters as they muddle their way through life.
There's Beth, a cashier-turned-motivational speaker with a heart too big for her life; Aisha, a girl whose dreams are her chosen daily companions; Pravesh, an undertaker with a bit of a toenail fetish; Meryl, a Guinness World Records rep bound in a corset of cynicism; Mdu, an introvert who can communicate with whales; and Harry, a garbageman with a peculiar sense of smell.
This rare debut introduces a talented new writer and exhibits her impressive ability to craft a love story in a wholly new manner - and proves Bridget McNulty is a writer to watch. With a dollop of magical realism and a pinch of black humor, McNulty's characters' stories intertwine in an intriguing blend of lyricism, whimsy, and wit. Strange Nervous Laughter is a novel about love and friendship and relationships and sex and food and Durban - and the odd ways in which we sometimes behave.
