Winner of the Green Carnation Prize 2014

Shortlisted for the Saltire First Book Prize

A viciously funny and heart-breaking collection of semi-autobiographical short stories from one of the UK’s most exciting new voices.

Any Other Mouth is a gut-wrenching and shockingly frank account of sexual misadventure, familial disintegration, bereavement and self-discovery, in the vein of David Vann’s Legend of a Suicide, Susanna Kaysen’s Girl, Interrupted, and Miranda July’s Nobody Belongs Here More Than You.

“It’s one of the saddest yet most uplifting things I’ve read in ages and it made me cry. Mackintosh is a real talent and Any Other Mouth is a remarkable debut.” ~The Independent
