Mickey

"[Chelsea Martin's] deceptively relaxed prose perfectly captures the Facebook-guzzling void that constitutes modern heartbreak. Fav."—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, Ina Garten fan art, reality TV marathons, bathroom sex, and the daydreamed titles of imaginary art installations.

 

Chelsea Martin is the author of four books, including her small press bestseller, Even Though I Don’t Miss You.
