Caca Dolce by Chelsea Martin
An 'enchanting' memoir of an artist in search of herself: 'A sure hit for fans of Sara Benincasa's Agorafabulous! and Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl' (Booklist, starred review).Caca Dolce is the 'funny, candid, and bracingly self-aware' story of Chelsea Martin's coming of age as an artist (The Rumpus). We're with the author of cult novels Mickey and Even Though I Don't Miss You as an eleven-year-old atheist, trying to will an alien visitation to her neighborhood; fighting with her stepfather and grappling with a Tourette's diagnosis as she becomes a teenager; falling under the sway of frenemies and crushes in high school; going into debt to afford what might be a meaningless education at an expensive art college; navigating the messy process of falling in love with a close friend; and struggling for independence from her emotionally manipulative father and from the family and friends in the dead-end California town that has defined her upbringing.A book about relationships, class, art, sex, money, family, and growing up weird and poor in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Casa Dolce is 'a wild ride of a memoir, and a true glimpse into the mind of an artist as she's figuring out what life is all about' (Kristin Iversen, Nylon).Chelsea Martin is a Santa Rosa, California-based writer and comic artist. Martin is the author of four books: Everything Was Alright Until Whenever (Future Tense, 2009), The Really Funny Thing About Apathy (Sunnyoutside, 2011), Kramer Sutra (Universal Error, 2012), and Even But I Don't Miss You (Short Flight/ Long Drive Books, 2013), which was a small press blockbuster. Martin's writing has appeared in a variety of publications, including The Poetry Foundation, Hobart, and Awst Press. Universal Error is her company's founder and Creative Director.
