Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "In this sparkling nonfiction debut, Monson uses unexpectedly nonliterary forms--the index, the Harvard Outline, the mathematical proof--to delve into an equally surprising mix of obsessions: disc golf, the history of mining in northern Michigan, car washes, snow, topology, and more. He remembers the telegram, a disappearing form, and reflects on his outsider experience at an exclusive Detroit-area boarding school in the form of a criminal history." [] "Unapologetically smart, unexpectedly emotional, and playful in ways that most nonfiction never attempts, Under Monson's NECK DEEP AND OTHER PREDICAMENTS is what we mean when we say essay."--John D'Agata. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. [Pittsfield, MA, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2007] |
