Why read it?
1 author picked Earth Angel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This collection of inventive, hilarious, and weirdly heartbreaking stories is both totally accessible and unlike anything I’ve ever read.
Cash is plugged into our current moment and makes satirical fodder of the means and mores of our high-speed, low attention-span digital world. There isn’t a page here that didn’t make me laugh, but underneath it all I registered the pervasive pain of living in a world that doesn’t make sense, where nothing lasts long enough to truly register.
A brilliant, bellwether book by an author that we’ll be hearing from a lot more in the coming years.
