Sloppy

Praise

“Rax King is my favorite dirtbag genius in lucite heels. Read her shit.”
—Samantha Irby, author of Quietly Hostile

“It is frankly rude to take a book full of such poignant insights and sharp jokes and call it Sloppy, but that’s what Rax King did with her tender and charming new essay collection. I hope this book sells one million copies, because the writing deserves it, and also because then Rax can pay back the money she borrowed from me when she was doing all those drugs.”
—Josh Gondelman, comedian and author of Nice Try

“Out of all Rax King’s habits, let’s be so thankful she hasn’t quit writing. She’s plagued with the same follies as the rest of us but has been bestowed a gift by the bored gods and the lush dogs to be able to craft a perfect essay, one that helps us untangle why the hell we’re still like this. It is the kind of book people will imitate because it’s so original and the kind of book that will be fundamental for young writers and women, or people who are both of those things if you can imagine something as wretched as that. I love reading about Rax’s incredible sloppy life.”
—Melissa Lozada-Oliva, author of Candelaria

“Brave. Vulnerable. Hilarious. Rax King’s world is one of bad ideas and brilliant insights that come from following them through.”
—Lola Kirke, author of Wild West Village
