"Chelsea Martin continues to prove herself the preeminent chronicler of Internet age malaise and I fucking love it. "Mickey" takes her provocative poetry long form, weaving the tangled tale of a breakup that shouldn't be as confusing as it is. This has replaced "Anne of Green Gables" as my cozy times reading. Who the fuck knows what that says about me, but it says a LOT about the power of Chelsea's writing."
Lena Dunham
After breaking up with her boyfriend Mickey, a young woman struggles to situate her life and her art, and reach her estranged mother. Told in a series of vignettes, "Mickey" is one young woman s journey to figuring out life (or not) amidst drunken mistakes, reality TV marathons, bathroom sex, and the daydreamed titles of imaginary art installations.
"Chelsea Martin's "Mickey" is beyond superlatives but I'll use them anyway: intelligent, hysterical, elusive, an exquisite original. If you enjoy thinking, laughing, and self-loathing, read this book."
Chloe Caldwell, author of "Women" and "I'll Tell You in Person"
There is no other writer who makes me laugh out loud more than Chelsea Martin. Both hysterical and heart-wrenching, "Mickey" is a well-rounded, hyper-realistic portrait of heartbreak in the age of the Internet.
Mira Gonzalez, author of "I will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together"
"For anyone who s ever felt like they re slowly drowning in a pool of abandoned dreams and self loathing, "Mickey" is a drinking buddy and a good companion."
