A startling and original new voice that owes as much to Black Flag and Bikini Kill as it does to J.D. Salinger and Heather O'Neill. A South African copywriter is transplanted to the urban jungle of Manhattan. A recovering rape victim tries to resume a normal life. A Toronto nurse cuts herself to fill her emptiness. In Got No Secrets, Danila Botha takes us into the private lives of twelve different women, with only one question in mind: What if these women were you? From addiction to abuse, from childhood to suicide, from Hillbrow, Johannesburg, to downtown Toronto, Botha's prose is compassionate, provocative, often funny, and always fearless. This collection will appeal to fans of short stories, particularly those with a taste for contemporary, urban, edgy fiction. A diverse range of influences – from punk rock music to the outcasts of J.D. Salinger and the postmodern experiments of Nabokov and Pynchon. Wide range of locations – local and international: Hillbrow, Toronto, Manhattan. Stories told from female perspective – drug addiction, abuse, love, broken hearts, self-mutilation.
