¢this is no fairy story but a story of human beings¢

The State of Us takes the reader from the twitching curtains of suburbia to the deserts of the Middle East, from the interior life of a street photographer to outer space, and back again. With an eye reminiscent of Samuel Beckett, the stories in it are often satirical, sometimes uncompromising and occasionally fabulous. What they have in common is a question - what are we doing? - and an answer that suggests we should look, more closely, at the state of us...

Industry Reviews

'Wonderful - a collection of brilliantly inventive absurdist tales from our increasingly fictional reality. If Kafka had come from Birmingham and written about climate change, feminism, war, food, parenting and space travel, then the result might well have resembled The State of Us. The best sort of hilarious and poignant satire*' - Joanna Kavenna, novelist; 'An excellent collection that captures something essential about humanity...Hill has an auteur's eye for a perfectly-timed hard cut.' - Will Ashon, Author of 'Clear Water' (Faber); 'tremendous storytelling verve' - Ruth Gilligan; 'Charlie Hill is a real writer' - Jim Crace
