Overview: A never-ending press junket. An island made of plastic. A doppelgänger made of shower hair. A basement full of replacement fathers.
The characters in I Made This Just for You are perfect avatars of modern life. They work in tech, take designer drugs, assemble IKEA furniture, pursue beauty matching, and rehabilitate their reputations—all while grappling with a perilous sense of unease, held hostage by economic forces beyond their control.
I Made This Just for You lives in weird and flirts with normal. The stories explore the tension between authenticity and performance, as characters navigate the anxieties of modern parenthood, the disorienting nature of loss and memory, and the absurd, often dystopian, intersection of the digital and the real.
This savage, sideways collection asks: How do we measure the distance between two people? How can we thrive within our own ceaseless routines? And how are we still drawn together, in spite of our messy, broken ways of knowing?
