Description

'A wonderful take on the chaos of the modern word' Louise O'Neill

'Really, really good - thoughtful, funny, smart and stupid' Séamus O'Reilly

'Self-deprecating, insightful and witty' Irish Examiner

'Carl has the rare gift of combining analytical clarity with maniacal vulnerability' Blindboy Boatclub

'Great company ... Touching, interesting, funny and informative' Marian Keyes

Like the rest of us, Carl Kinsella has spent the last ten years trying to find a way to navigate modern life, mental health and the internet. Well, maybe not quite like the rest of us. From starting a rumour that convinced much of Ireland that the Luas was free to having a breakdown at the Dolly Parton theme park, here Carl has done his best to document a journey that's been all at once relatable and ridiculous.

Informed by his experiences with OCD - an illness that warped his perception of reality, convinced him he was dying, and threatened the very foundations of his life - this collection of essays reflects on stories of attention, algorithms, masculinity and madness.

Honest and deeply human, At Least It Looks Good From Space is a colourful search for answers about what it means to be losing your mind and what you might find to replace it.

'Sharp, inventive and irresistibly engaging' Sophie White

'Kinsella proves a sharp satirist and a shrewd observer of the minutiae of Irish life' IRISH TIMES
About Carl Kinsella
Carl Kinsella is a writer from Dublin who rarely lasts longer than a year in whatever city he's currently living in. He writes a weekly social commentary column for The Journal called 'Surrealing in the Years', a name he came up with himself. He has twice been nominated in the 'Popular Columnist of the Year' category at the Irish Journalism Awards. He lost both times, but whatever, it's not a big deal. Kinsella writes for the BBC Radio comedy show Lunchtime with Michael Fry, and serves as something like a news correspondent on the popular podcast Catch Up with Louise McSharry.
