Kay Xander Mellish grew up in Wisconsin and graduated magna cum laude from New York University, where she studied journalism and art history. In addition to her non-fiction work, which has appeared in publications including the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, Sports Illustrated, Mother Jones, and the Danish tabloid BT, Kay spent many years writing fiction.

Unable to find a publisher, she began flyposting the first page of her short stories on lampposts and construction sidings in New York City, with a voicemail number to call if readers wanted to hear the rest of the story.

Quotes by Kay Xander Mellish (?)

“Classical art celebrating the beauty of bodily perfection is just not very Danish. Don’t expect compliments Now, Danes are OK with nudity, as long as it’s ordinary, lumpy human nudity. But the idea of any human being an ideal doesn’t fit well with their passion for equality, which suggests that no one person should be better than anyone else. It’s why you will rarely receive compliments of any sort in Denmark,”
― Kay Xander Mellish, How To Live in Denmark Updated Edition: A humorous guide for foreigners and their Danish friends
