Book Launch - The Building Inspector by Myriam Frey (Nightjar Press)

The Building Inspector is a brief series of short stories, a debut mini-collection by

Swiss translator and writer Myriam Frey. Born in 1972, Myriam Frey has an MSc in

Architecture and an MA in Applied Linguistics. Writing in English, she lives in

Switzerland with her husband and two children.

A bad-tempered building inspector antagonises harassed tenants in a recognisable

world of rented accommodation intruded upon by elements of the weird and uncanny.

The Building Inspector will be launched at the Saul Hay Gallery, Manchester, on

Friday 17 October 2025, from 7.30–9pm. There will be short readings and Myriam will

be in conversation with publisher Nicholas Royle.

Free to attend, but please book as space is limited.
