Paradise Logic

'I loved this wild, roaming marvel of a debut, acutely aware that I was reading a book completely unlike any other, admiring this voice which metabolises perennial concerns about love, identity and gender into some of the weirdest and funniest prose imaginable. It’s a privilege to spend time with Sophie Kemp’s singular mind' * Megan Nolan, author of Ordinary Human Failings and Acts of Desperation * 'Sophie Kemp’s absurd, horny, and epic debut had me asking questions like: Is existence meaningless and random? And most importantly­, how can I make my eyes resemble those of an introspective family pet?' * Ruth Madievsky, author of All-Night Pharmacy * 'The funniest book of the year and one of the smartest' * Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story * 'Paradise Logic is an astonishment, and the odyssey of Reality Kahn reads like the strangest, funniest, most profound, vibrant, and trippy dream you ever had, except it’s not just a dream, it’s a work of art, deeply real and dangerously alive. A great writer is bornth' * Sam Lipsyte, author of No One Left to Come Looking for You * 'The 21st C heir apparent to Kathy Acker. Reality sets about her quest with a Quixotean determination. A wildly propulsive novel and delight to behold' * Jen George, author of The Babysitter at Rest * 'Offbeat, hilarious, and often dismal, Paradise Logic is the excavation of heterosexual desire our age deserves' * LitHub * Sophie Kemp's surreal novel will be top of our reading pile * Sunday Times Style * 'The style is George Saunders meets Ottessa Moshfegh, filtered through – at a rough guess – 4chan, mumblecore and 18th-century marriage manuals… Kemp knows exactly what she’s doing, and tonally the novel is a feat, expertly switching between laughter, shock and heartache, sometimes in a heartbeat' * Observer *
