Descriere & specificații

nCheap Therapist Says You're Insane is a debut collection of stories that announces a startling new talent in American storytelling. Parker Young's short stories and flash fictions combine humor, anxiety, and pathos as they walk a razor's edge between the absurd and compelling human stakes. Young's total command of voice and style makes for stories sure to linger in the haunted air of your subconscious.n n nn nAs did Russell Edson, Parker Young beholds the universe's catastrophizing with admiration. Like tiny inky quilts, his prose-devisings are tinkerings in, with, and about the border between intricacy & error.-Jesse Ball, author of Autoportraitn n nn nParker Young's collection inhabits a comic uncanny that offers kindness and anarchy both: a Donald Barthelme pose made new in this modern moment. Each piece tumbles toward its perfect end-sometimes slapstick, sometimes tragic, sometimes motionless, but often all three. In this book's feints of metafiction, and in its fundamental sincerity, there is proof that writing is an existential act. -Amanda Goldblatt, author of Hard Mouthn n nn nThese brief and impressionistic stories capture the strange, inchoate logic of dreams better than any collection I've read. They are ripe with a vague foreboding, confident yet dissociative leaps in time and place, inarticulate obsessions, quiet and bizarre quandaries. A fresh spin on continental neuroticism.-Zac Smith, author of Everything Is Totally Finen n nn nI do not know Parker Young. He
