my time as host of #ShowUsYourDesk has come to an end, and i can’t think of a better final guest than the author who wrote my favorite novel of the year. please join @katefolk.bsky.social and me, live from @therumpus.net IG on tues, 12/16 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, for one last desk reveal! ✈️✈️✈️

Started and finished @katefolk.bsky.social’s Sky Daddy in less than 24hrs (with a full day in there too!). What a wacky, indulgent, outrageous read. I love an unhinged protagonist ✨

Our writers pick their favourite books of the past year, with work by Aria Aber, @catherinelacey.bsky.social, Claire Star Finch and @katefolk.bsky.social making the list...

i don’t know why people tag authors in bad reviews of their books, but i’m honestly impressed by their boldness. i can’t imagine tagging a stranger for any reason

Sky Daddy is so wild and beautiful and funny. Favorite novel this year for sure —maybe several years. @katefolk.bsky.social

"SKY DADDY, @katefolk.bsky.social's debut novel, takes forbidden romance to new heights," says Angela Hui.

Time for a chat with @katefolk.bsky.social about her madcap and life affirming SKY DADDY as well as the quiet pleasures of being the only person alive in THE WALL by Marlen Haushofer. Here’s where you go listen: www.somanydamnbooks.com/episodes/epi...

I sometimes felt disloyal taking pleasure from an A320, as this model was designed as a direct competitor to the 737, but the A320 was a fine plane in his own right, and I'd gladly marry such an aircraft if he chose me. -This week's #SundaySentence is from Sky Daddy, @katefolk.bsky.social. #Booksky

thank you chuck tingle. i will never forget keith the billionaire jet plane

Today's quick rave is for Sky Daddy by @katefolk.bsky.social ! A perfectly bonkers book about a woman with an extreme fondness for airplanes. I loved this book! www.islandbooks.com/book/9780593...

You know what audiobook is an absolutely wild ride??? This one right here! I laughed so many times while listening to @katefolk.bsky.social’s Sky Daddy. It’s beautiful and sad and strange in perfect measure :)

"I have heard Moby-Dick described as a vessel that allows Melville to lavish attention on whales. I wanted 'Sky Daddy' to do the same for planes," @katefolk.bsky.social told NBCC Co–VP/Events @janeciab.bsky.social in their Literary Hub conversation about her first novel, "Sky Daddy":

thank you so much!

i have a new story at @nplusonemag.com. it’s called “patrick’s journey: the play” www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Happy Pub Week to @katefolk.bsky.social's SKY DADDY, which is our April Bookseller's Choice! Sky Daddy has the rare distinction of having not one, not two, but three separate bookseller endorsements. Certified hit. You're going to want to read this. greenapplebooks.com/book/9780593...

“They could write a short story honoring the thwarted child by envisioning what its life might have become. The story had to be a minimum of ten pages double-spaced, with an honest attempt at showing rather than telling.” New: fiction by @katefolk.bsky.social. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Kate Folk’s novel SKY DADDY is unlike any novel I’ve read. Pure Kafka. Folk’s witty and colloquial style draws us deeply into an odd woman’s life. Each place and time gets the fable that fits. SKY DADDY is here and now. Don’t miss it.

for nyt mag, i wrote about the beauty of contrails www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/m...
