"There should be a horrifically evil baseball team that is unleashed upon America, sparking national outcry. Then, every normal baseball team can come together as one to defeat them."
This debut collection features the linked stories "Baseball," "Video Games," and "Christmas." Combining the bombastic (and artfully sleazy) wit of Eve Babitz with the tenderness of Denis Johnson, Kathy Joyce dives fearlessly into America’s broken heart and breaks it just a little more.
“A voice that is literally unlike any other existing voice . . . should be required reading at every Gamestop and teen psych ward in the country.” —Daniel Kolitz, “The Goon Squad”
“Blunt, curious, and plucky . . . her work embodies a much needed sweetness in an ever-jaded culture. No irony, no frills.” —Ivy Wolk
“It’s sort of crazy how good this book is” —Brad Phillips, author of Essays and Fictions
Kathy Joyce is an interesting woman from New York.
