Über diesen Titel
“Sleek and darkly comical . . . with the melancholic wit and whimsy of Miranda July.”—The Boston Globe
Cross the jet bridge with Linda, a frequent flyer with an unusual obsession, in this “audaciously imagined and surprisingly tender” (Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch) debut novel by the acclaimed author of Out There.
LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (SO FAR): Time, Vox, Vulture
Linda is doing her best to lead a life that would appear normal to the casual observer. Weekdays, she earns $20 an hour moderating comments for a video-sharing platform, then rides the bus home to the windowless garage she rents on the outskirts of San Francisco. But on the last Friday of each month, she indulges her true passion, taking BART to SFO for a round-trip flight to a regional hub. The destination is irrelevant, because each trip means a new date with a handsome stranger—a stranger whose intelligent windscreens, sleek fuselages, and powerful engines make Linda feel a way that no human ever could. . . .
Linda knows that she can’t tell anyone she’s sexually obsessed with planes. Nor can she reveal her belief that it’s her destiny to “marry” one of her suitors, uniting with her soulmate plane for eternity. But when an opportunity arises to hasten her dream of eternal partnership, and the carefully balanced elements of her life begin to spin out of control, she must choose between maintaining the trappings of normalcy and launching herself headlong toward the love she’s always dreamed of.
Both subversive and unexpectedly heartwarming, Sky Daddy hijacks the classic love story, exploring desire, fate, and the longing to be accepted for who we truly are.©2025 Kate Folk (P)2025 Random House Audio

Kritikerstimmen
“This is the craziest, funniest book I’ve read in a while. And I read a lot of crazy, funny books. Get your boarding pass out and get ready for some turbulence. Sky Daddy is insane.”—Gary Shteyngart, author of Our Country Friends
“Folk has written something truly original here: the kind of novel that startles you into remembering fiction’s potential to be simultaneously deeply weird, deeply funny and deeply felt. . . . In a fiction landscape that often bends toward the familiar and marketable, Sky Daddy reminds us that the novel’s real job is to stretch the imagination to its most exhilarating limits. The best fiction doesn’t just mirror desire—it deranges it, making us see the world, and ourselves, afresh. We watch Linda the same way she watches airplanes: fascinated, rapt.”—The Telegraph
“A zany, charming, and unexpectedly poignant portrait of a woman who feels herself to be unassimilable to the world of normal people.”—Electric Literature
