Özet
Meg has just had a baby, and life is good. She has a loving partner, an apartment in Melbourne’s inner-north, and a beautiful baby boy. But when Meg meets her former writing school nemesis, Stella, at their local mother’s group, she is forced to confront her insecurities head-on.
Stella seems to have it all: a successful writing career, a healthy baby, and the women of the mother’s group wrapped around her finger. So what if Meg hasn’t written anything in years and now works as a receptionist at a dermatology clinic? So what if she no longer fits into her jeans and spends most of her time watching carpet-cleaning reels and re-runs of Below Deck? And so what if, despite ‘expressing’ all hours of the day, Colin seems to be losing weight at an alarming rate, and there are times she feels she might throw him out the window?
Everything’s changing for Meg: her body, her relationship, her friendships, her place in culture and society, and she’s desperately trying to keep her head above water. But Stella’s reappearance in her life might just be the thing that tips her over the edge – down into the depths of jealousy, self-doubt and sleep deprivation – and forces her to reclaim her sense of self.

Eleştirmen yorumları
‘This book feels like a supersmart, black-humoured brain strapped onto the rocket of a screaming, primal, postpartum animal body. Sometimes – rarely – you get the immense pleasure of reading a book that is the perfect execution of the author's vision. This is that novel. Visceral and bloody and undeniably real. It made my guts churn to see such raw female jealousy and rage reeking off the page. You will feel seen and attacked. Totally brilliant.’

‘I just loved this dark, ridiculous gem of a book: filled with wit, tenderness and sharp insight. It's so good it made me seethe with jealousy. It's so good I want to create a space-time paradox: to go back in time and have written it myself and at the same time have read it before I gave birth. Emma Marie Jones is a genius and this Don't Talk to Me or My Son Ever Again is The Motherhood Novel of our generation.’

‘On the arrival of her debut baby, frustrated writer Meg stumbles into a mother’s group reigned over by her perfect, insufferable uni adversary Stella, and immediately regresses into a state of frenzied spite. Emma Marie Jones is a fearless and masterful observer of the transformative moments in life, where our vulnerabilities draw from us the wounds of the past and the uncertainties of the future. Don’t Talk to Me or My Son Ever Again crackles with comic tension as it traces the delights of baby-rearing, the true insanity of hormonal overload, and the wicked pleasures to be found in jealously raging against not-having what one thinks one wants. Jones has penned the Millennial woman-Othello of Brunswick West.’

‘Emma Marie Jones’ brilliant debut shows motherhood as you’ve never seen it before. It’s a whip-smart, hilarious portrait of a new mother’s struggle to find her place in the world in all its glorious messiness. This was a wild and rollicking ride and I enjoyed every second of it.’

‘An original, tender and witty book for anyone who has ever judged a mother. (Everyone.)’

‘Wry, funny, and disconcertingly incisive, Emma Marie Jones's Don't Talk to Me or My Son Ever Again shows the faded dreams of millennial sharehouses and grad-school extended adolescence confronting something far more frightening and magical: a child. Jones takes a thought, an emotion, something shameful and submerged, and sits with it until your eyes adjust to the dark. Then she yanks it into the light. An immense talent.’

‘Don't talk to me ever again as I am busy reveling in this cutting, clever and cathartic book. Emma Marie Jones portrays matrescence with compassion, humour and absolute cool. I'll read whatever she writes.’
