Sky Daddy

Praise

“This is the craziest, funniest book I’ve read in a while. And I read a lot of crazy, funny books. Get your boarding pass out and get ready for some turbulence. Sky Daddy is insane.”—Gary Shteyngart, author of Our Country Friends

“Audaciously imagined. Slyly executed. Surprisingly tender. Deliciously weird.”—Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch

“Sky Daddy is outrageously funny and smartly unsettling, as if J. G. Ballard did a story arc for New Girl. It’s an audacious comic novel about the love that really dare not say its name—also probably the worst (or . . . best?) book to read on a plane.”—Ed Park, author of Same Bed Different Dreams

“Delightfully weird and totally electric. . . . A captivatingly original and uproarious love letter to the strange forces of desire and destiny that drive and connect all of us.”—Gina Chung, author of Sea Change and Green Frog
 
“Hilarious, refreshing, and perverse, Sky Daddy is a soaring portrait of modern obsession, of knowing exactly what you want and trying to wrestle it from the jaws of our ridiculous world. Kate Folk’s sharp sentences and sidesplitting characters sparkle with glorious cringe. Do not miss this flight.”—Henry Hoke, author of Open Throat
 
“Get on board already! Sky Daddy is absurd and poignant, hilarious and gruesome, razor-sharp and tenderhearted. From here on out, I’m reading anything and everything with Kate Folk’s name on it.”—Lily Brooks-Dalton, author of The Light Pirate

“A bold and inventive novel that somehow manages to make the absurd feel familiar . . . With wit and humor, Kate Folk gives us an unsettling but fascinating look at the complicated ways humans relate to technology.”—Weike Wang, author of Rental House

“Powerful and wise, Sky Daddy also manages to be the funniest book about erotic obsession that I have ever read.”—Colin Winnette, author of Users and The Job of the Wasp

“Innovative, daring, and (very) fun, Kate Folk’s eccentrically smart novel of outward, and inward, love effortlessly blends humor and heart. It’s impossible to forget.”—Iain Reid, author of We Spread

“This book is a dog whistle for the true freaks—never have I felt so seen! I loved it.”—Rita Bullwinkel, author of Headshot

“I found myself breathless, shocked, and wonderstruck. Kate Folk is a singular talent, soaring in a brilliant universe all her own.”—Emily Habeck, author of Shark Heart

“With this brilliant deep dive into the irrational abyss of obsession, Kate Folk proves herself to be a truly original new voice in fiction.”—Mat Johnson, author of Pym

“Sky Daddy is a voyeuristic masterpiece—you’ll never look at a contrail (or an airplane blanket) the same way again.”—Kimberly King Parsons, author of We Were the Universe
