4.0 out of 5 stars
A cluster of texts,
By Rebecca "rebagin" (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maps to Anywhere (Association of Writers and Writing Programs Award for Creative Nonfiction) (Paperback)
This book contains many essays. Some are one to two page long observations, others are more personal. The more personal ones are the heart of this book. The essays about his relationship with his father are very good. The longest entry is entitled "The House of the Future". It is roughly thirty pages long and it is beautiful. It is worth buying this book just to read this one essay, which is about the death of his older brother. I could not put the book down during this essay. The language and images are extremely vivid, and the story is enveloping. I didn't really care for some of the shorter pieces, but "The House of the Future" is one of the best pieces I have read in a long time.

I read this book so long ago but just had to be the first to post a review...This is what essays are all about. It's a fun, informative, and smartly written jaunt through a culture and individual life. Wonderful! |
