Erika Dirk on Dizz Tate's "Brutes."

About Dizz Tate: DIZZ TATE grew up in Florida and lives in London, U.K. She has had short stories published in Granta, The Stinging Fly, Dazed, No Tokens Journal, Five Dials, 3:AM Magazine, among other publications. She was long-listed for the Sunday Times Audible Short Story Award in 2020 and won the Bristol Short Story Prize in 2019. Brutes is her first novel. About Brutes: In Falls Landing, Florida—a place built of theme parks, swampy lakes, and scorched bougainvillea flowers—something sinister lurks in the deep. A gang of thirteen-year-old girls obsessively orbit around the local preacher's daughter, Sammy. She is mesmerizing, older, and in love with Eddie. But suddenly, Sammy goes missing. Where is she? Watching from a distance, they edge ever closer to discovering a dark secret about their fame-hungry town and the cruel cost of a ticket out. What they see will continue to haunt them for the rest of their lives. Through a darkly beautiful and brutally compelling lens, Dizz Tate captures the violence, horrors, and manic joys of girlhood. Brutes is a novel about the seemingly unbreakable bonds in the "we" of young friendship, and the moment it is broken forever.

Little Atoms 819 - Dizz Tate's Brutes

Accompany the squad on a potentially misleading adventure that does not actually involve any investigative reporting as we cover Witches by Brenda Lozano (translated by Heather Cleary). We talk about literature in translation, the novel's narrative voices, and some 'high brow feminist shit.' Later in the episode, Kelli interviews childhood friend Dizz Tate, author of Brutes. They discuss their adolescence spent in Florida, the highs and lows of teenage girlhood, and the lasting power of The Virgin Suicides. Plus, they give great advice, especially for people with "no hopes for the future!" Send us any feedback you have to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com, and join us 3/6 for our episode on Knock at the Cabin with special guest Samantha Allen, author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle. Don't forget to read along for our next bookpisode on Johnny Compton's debut novel, The Spite House, on 3/20. content warning: rape, anti-LGBTQ+ prejudice, and interpersonal violenceTOC:30 – Welcome and icebreakers!12:00 – A note on catapult and book intro16:20 – Structure and style29:53 – Paloma and Leandra38:54 – Women!48:57 – The ending??55:00 – Ratings1:00:00 – Interview with Dizz Tate!1:36:08 – What’s on the blog?
