Bibbs is just about to turn thirty-nine. She has been a reality show star but the good life is beginning to slip through her fingers and there seems to be a never-ending flow of unexpected expenditures. Her boyfriend, Baby, has always provided stability and when he dumps her out of the blue, she is also faced with an ultimatum: if she wants to keep the flat she must pay 100 000 Krona within a week. Days & Days & Days is a pitch perfect study of success and destruction, dependence and betrayal, celebrity and anonymity.

‘It’s excellent, the Schunnesson.’ — Ian Sansom, TLS
‘Bibbs’ voice, brought to air by Stephanie Racine, is a brilliant weaving of icy calm and desperate humanity as it lists and checks off the wasteful, silly and cheap twenty-first century world, devastating in the seriousness of its effects, in the destructiveness of its ways.’ — Leigh Wilson
