Point Blank bags bleak blackly comic Biggerers

Oneworld list Point Blank has secured UK and Commonwealth rights to Amy Lilwall’s début The Biggerers, an “original and startling” novel set in a future in which “full-sized humans keep mini-humans as pets”.

Editor Jenny Parrott, who signed the title from Dan Mandel at Sanford J Greenburger Associates, said of the novel: “Amy thoroughly disconcerts and shocks the reader with a vision that is both bleak and often hilarious.”
