'Anna Wood's stories are urban, sexy, darkly and uniquely comic, and tuned to the zeitgeist like the bass player every band would want. Her prose has the precision and economy of the best poetry, deployed to offer us cinematic glimpses of the lives we recognise, endure and rejoice in. Fiction has a new star in its firmament.' - Carol Ann Duffy 'Sexy and sweaty and tender and weird, Yes Yes More More pulses with the pure joy of being human.' - Ruth Gilligan 'Fresh, funny, fabulous, Yes Yes More More had me gripped. These stories surprise and delight. Anna Wood is the real thing - a writer you immediately want more of.' - Jackie Kay 'Yes Yes More More gives us precisely realised worlds of gloriously observant and hyper-attentive specificity. Devoid of cliche, Anna Wood's writing presents people and situations that are laugh-out-loud funny but there is a stealth to her stories, an unshowy intelligence, which makes them deeply satisfying.' - Wendy Erskine 'Vivid, heartbreaking and jubilant - I couldn't get enough of Yes Yes More More. Anna Wood examines life under a brilliant shifting light, finding beauty, horror and meaning in every moment. A triumph.' - Catriona Ward 'Bursting with zing and vitality, Yes Yes More More is an absolute marvel of a short story collection. What it feels like to be alive, to dance wildly, to be surrounded by friends.' - Elizabeth Macneal 'A writer of exciting contradictions, Anna Wood tackles the dynamics of desire and the vicissitudes of a rich inner life with lyricism and levity, in a literary register that is both frank and digressive, coolly detached one moment and achingly sincere the next. Yes Yes More More is intimate and surprising, a joy to read.' - Sharlene Teo 'Poignant and pulsing with quiet joy, these stories are full of those moments that flutter by, too quick to catch - the tastes, the throbbing sensations, fleeting connections, in-between times of reflection. Yes Yes More More reminded me of the sheer, delicious goodness of life. It made me want to live forever.' - Alice Ash 'This is a riot of a collection - wild, libidinous and greedy for life.' -Naomi Booth
