A National Book Critics Circle Award finalist in Criticism "Stories, both my own and those I\'ve taken to heart, make up whoever it is that I\'ve become," Peter Orner writes in this collection of essays about reading, writing, and living.
The result is "a book of unlearned meditations that stumbles into memoir." Among the many writers Orner addresses are Isaa.
Orner reads--and writes--everywhere he finds himself: a hospital cafeteria, a coffee shop in Albania, or a crowded bus in Haiti.
