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.

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

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.
