Gunk

Saba speaks with radio presenter and host Fee Mak about the complexities of unexpected family life and the characters that make up the world of Gunk, a grotty student nightclub in central Brighton. 

Jules has been divorced from her ex-husband Leon for five years, but she still works alongside him at the nightclub. With the arrival of Nim, a new employee at the bar, Jules is jolted awake for the first time in years and with an unexpected pregnancy in the mix, this novel poses questions around who we choose to build our families with. 

Selected for Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists in 2023 and author of the dazzling collection of short stories, Send Nudes, Saba Sams is a voice not to be missed.
