Episode 3 – Dissecting Boy Parts by Eliza ClarkIn this episode of Confessions of a Book Hoarder, we dive headfirst into the chaotic, magnetic world of Boy Parts by Eliza Clark—a cult debut that flips the male gaze, dismantles likability, and lets its protagonist spiral with unapologetic ferocity.We unpack Irina’s descent into obsession, art, and identity collapse, exploring themes of power, performance, and the grotesque feminine. From internet culture to creative control, this novel doesn’t ask to be liked—it demands to be witnessed.We also trace the feminist lineage behind Clark’s work, honouring the women who wrote in secret, published under pseudonyms, and risked everything to speak. Plus, a look at Boy Parts’s adaptation into a one-woman play and why its voice belongs on stage as much as on the page.
