Vulture 's 10 Best Books of 2016 The Guardian 's Best Books of 2016 Wall Street Journal 's Favorite Books of 2016 Financial Times 's Best Books of 2016 Refinery29's Best Books of 2016 In You Are Having a Good Time , Amie Barrodale s collection of highly compressed and charged tales, the veneer of normality is stripped from her characters lives to reveal the seething and contradictory desires that fuel them. In Animals, an up-and-coming starlet harbors a complicated attraction toward her abusive director. In Frank Advice for Fat Women, an ethically compromised psychiatrist is drawn into the middle of a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship. And in The Imp, a supernatural possession ruins a man s relationship with his pregnant wife. Barrodale s protagonists drink too much, say the wrong things, want the wrong people. They re hounded by longings (and sometimes ghosts) to the point where they are forced to confront the illusions they cling to. They re brought to life in stories that don t behave as you expect stories to behave. Barrodale s startlingly funny and original fictions get under your skin and make you reconsider the fragile compromises that underpin our daily lives. "
