The stories in What Did You Do Today? explore the ordinary and the offbeat as if they were one and the same, asking What it\'s like to be alive and What makes us human.
It\'s a book I will recommend to my smart reader friends.--Rebecca Brown, judge and author of The Gifts of the Body and You Tell the Stories You Need to Believe.
Which I guess means just that this excitingly original work rewards a reader intellectually and emotionally and stylistically, and with humor and pity and sadness all at once.
Or like when your doctor taps your knee just right and you don\'t know how they did it.
Or brain zaps.
Or maybe like zingy spritzery shots of something to drink.
Except when there\'re like nice firm chewy gummy candies with something extra inside.
The stories in this book are like hard little perfect gems.
In these short narratives, nothing is negligible, and all experience is transformative.
With warmth, humor, and wonder, these stories suggest that the past is always alive in the present and that even the most fleeting relationships have the power to change us forever.
