Book description

Kat Cataclysm is an ethically non-monogamous bisexual woman and absurdist short fiction writer. 99 Erics is a humorous account of Kat’s experiences writing a book called 99 Erics, which is about her experiences dating ninety-nine different people named Eric.

Why read it?

This book made me laugh out loud. I had to stop reading so I could share extracts with my partner because it was so funny. Described in the subtitle as a "faux novel" and recounting the author's experiences of going on dates with 99 people called Eric, it blurs the boundary between fiction and autobiography, which makes it even funnier.

The format of the book also allows the author to present a wide range of character vignettes that can be read as stand-alone short stories and feel like you are eavesdropping on some hilarious juicy gossip.
