Description:
Lauren Cook's I Love Shopping--beloved on the Internet and IRL--is back in print.
Chickens have a collective soul. Heaven is full of the skateboarders you kissed in middle school. If the algorithm is its own hell, Lauren Cook, author of the critically (and uncritically) acclaimed Sex Goblin, stands in front of it fully armored. I Love Shopping invites its readers to inhabit a world just like ours, reflected through a big, benevolent funhouse mirror.
First published in a limited edition, this will be the first trade edition of the cult classic.
Review Quotes: "When I read [Cook's] writing, I feel like I'm just being chatted to about very normal things like desperation and fantasy and wishing the world were different but also loving it just as it is. It's a soothing experience to remember that all the small, stupid things that make up my life are enormous, and it's okay for me to feel strongly about them."--Nora Treatbaby, The Whitney Review
"Kinetic . . . pinging between the depraved digital and the lonely truth of the IRL world."
--Tobias Hess, PAPER
"[A] cult favorite internet novel."
