''All of the stories in this collection exude the unique imagination, social commitment and beautifully clear, concise prose of this singular writer'' IRISH TIMES

From the legendary Scottish author of Poor Things and Landmark, this is a dazzlingly satirical collection of stories that describe painful kinds of education, starting with the title story in which an uninhibited woman educates a prim Scottish lecturer.
