nCheap Therapist Says Youre Insane is a debut collection of stories that announces a startling new talent in American storytelling. Parker Youngs short stories and flash fictions combine humor, anxiety, and pathos as they walk a razors edge between the absurd and compelling human stakes. Youngs 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 universes 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 Youngs 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 books 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 Ive 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 is not my friend. We follow each other on at least one social media platform, but in a crowd I wouldnt be positive if I was looking at him or a man named John Julie Patton. These words I am typing are a favor to no one. I say all that to tell you, this person, Parker Young, who is not my friend, but may one day become my friend, has written a collection of stories that I love. This collection is among my very favorites Ive read in years. Funny, seeing, hopeful, doomed; this collection is populated with people you know and that you will hope to never meet. This is beautiful writing with the light shining out.-Alex Higley, author of Old Openn n nn nA book like a collection of tiny thunderstorms, or a box of bouncing balls and spinning tops.-Ben Loory, author of Tales of Falling and Flyingn
