I'M MIKE.
I WROTE BOOK A BOOK CALLED DUPLEX.
"A miraculous combination of comedy and despair
. . . I completely loved the book."
— David Shields, author of Reality Hunger
“I loved hanging out in Mike Nagel's Duplex! It was discombobulating in all the best ways. I look forward to seeing what he does next.”
— Amy Fusselman, author of Idiophone
"...a possibly ideal reading experience..."
— Aaron Burch, founding editor of Hobart, HAD, & WAS Quarterly
“...a pandemic-era chronicle in which, as things come apart, Nagel does something more important, more impressive and more difficult than making perfect sense: he tells you the truth.”
— J. D. Daniels, author of The Correspondence
