Agustina Bazterrica in conversation with Eliza Clark at Piccadilly

We are honoured to welcome Agustina Bazterrica, bestselling author of Tender is the Flesh, to Waterstones Piccadilly to discuss her latest slice of dystopian fiction, The Unworthy. An unusual newcomer brings a flicker of hope into the eerie darkness of the House of the Sacred Sisterhood – a place of questionable refuge for the 'unworthy' – in Bazterrica's chilling novel that brims with secrets and deep-buried resentments.

Agustina Bazterrica is an Argentinian novelist and short-story writer. She is a central figure in the Buenos Aires literary scene, working as a cultural organiser and workshop curator. She has received several awards for her writing, most notably the Premio Clarín Novela for her second novel, Tender is the Flesh, which has been translated into over 20 languages and is also available from Pushkin Press.

Eliza Clark is the author of Boy Parts (2020), Penance (2023) and most recently, She's Always Hungry (2024). In 2020, Boy Parts was Blackwell’s Fiction book of the year, and in 2022 Eliza was chosen as a finalist for the Women’s Prize Futures Award for writers under thirty-five. In 2023, she was named one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists. She also writes for film and television. A stage adaptation of Boy Parts premiered at Soho Theatre in October 2023.
