Any Other Mouth

How do you react when you discover your boyfriend is cheating on you with his dead grandma? Which lullaby helps you date two guys at once? What’s the best way to deface a doctor’s leaflet on bereavement? And what is this Borderline Personality Disorder people keep telling you about? In this revealing mix of fact and fiction, Anneliese Mackintosh takes her most intense formative experiences and reimagines them in these profound, playful and poignant tales. Any Other Mouth is a viciously funny, gut-wrenching and shockingly frank account of sexual misadventure, familial disintegration, loss, hope and self-discovery.

Reviews of Any Other Mouth

'I waited for years in despair for the voice of the next generation to emerge and feared the worst – but she's here, and what a stupendous arrival… heart-wrenching, cheeky, profound and at the same time utterly stylish… an immense achievement.' Ewan Morrison, author of 'Close Your Eyes' 'This is the best thing I've read in years. Brutally honest and exquisitely crafted, this is a book that breaks your heart, slowly rebuilds it, only to smash it to pieces again. I'm seething with envy.' Doug Johnstone, author of 'Gone Again'
