Publisher's Summary
Jem Calder's Reward System is a set of ultra-contemporary and electrifyingly fresh fictions about a generation on the cusp, enmeshed in Zooms and lockdowns, loneliness and love.
Audacious fictions for a generation wondering: What now?
Julia has landed a fresh start at an up-and-coming city restaurant.
"Imagine that," says her mother.
"I’m imagining."
Her ex-boyfriend Nick is flirting with sobriety and nobody else. Did you know that adults his age are more likely to live with their parents than with a romantic partner?
Life should have started to take shape by now—but instead we’re trying on new versions of ourselves, swiping left and right, searching for a good answer to the question "What do you do?"
What the critics say
“Reward System is an exhilarating and beautiful book by an extraordinarily gifted writer. Reading these stories, I found myself thinking newly and differently about contemporary life.”—Sally Rooney
“Remarkably fresh . . . Calder's writing achieves that rare thing of capturing how it feels to be young without merely cataloguing millennial clichés.”―Esquire, Best Books of 2022
“Calder is a superb writer, by turns funny, graceful, acidly cynical, lyrical—and always verbally dexterous and inventive. . . he can also write simply and beautifully, with a keen eye for the natural world and human behaviour."―The Guardian (UK)
