I read his essay Exchange Rate in The Gettysburg Review and started to look for more and then I found his book
at my local independent bookstore I got the one and only copy they had when I snagged it off the to-be-shelved cart before they could shelve it alphabetically in the literary essay section
your local library has ordered a copy but it's so new it hasn't even arrived yet
when I can read something at 6:15am while standing up with rain-soaked socks on a crowded train and it takes me to another place that's good. this Monson guy is good. when I say read I mean look at words printed on paper as in bound printed matter not on some electronic doo-dad device
you won't hear this song the same way after you read Exchange Rate
howdy Foster. I'm kinda still reading it too. I put it down for a bit but I took it on the train today and got some more out of it. This Monson guy is someone I'd like to take a long road trip with if I had to take a long road trip. Or someone I'd like to take a writing class with. cheers
