Tony Tulathimutte: Rejection

The viral short story ‘The Feminist’, about a 30-something man at a loss as to why his feminism isn’t getting him more female attention, sets the tone of Thai-American writer Tony Tulathimutte’s darkly funny novel-in-stories, Rejection.

In a series of interconnected modern life horror stories and social media feeds dripping with irony, Tony captures the modern millennial malaise: anxiety, rejection, resentment and delusion.

Plumb the black hole at the centre of dating, friendships, identity and the internet with Tony, in conversation with Benjamin Law.
