Infos

Funny, candid, and searchingly self-aware, this collection tells the story of Chelsea Martin’s coming of age as an artist, from childhood and adolescence in a “trashy” isolated California town to her move to Oakland for college. A book about relationships, class, art, sex, money, and family—and about growing up weird, and poor, in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

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).
