I need to re-read this one, to look at how it works too, like I'm doing with Austerlitz and did with Impossible Object. It's similar to Impossible Object, because it's seemingly made up of short stories, but they're actually part of one narrative, sort of splintered and seen from different angles.

It's been a really long time since I've read a book that has connected with me in a way that this book has. Maybe it's because I'm from a Michigan small town (albeit Lower Peninsula) and can recall, if not somewhat relate to the many characters in these series of seperate, yet intertwined stories. Ander Monson has definitely picked up a new fan and I can't wait to read more from him.
Added note:
I was finally able to see Ander Monson at the Printer's Row Book Fair after a couple of previously failed attempts. I still find the fact that he got caught in a snow storm while on the way to a book reading pretty funny considering his stories. Anyway, a very dynamic and interesting speaker. This was how my book was signed. To Angie, with love. See pg 53.
Pg. 53 was the Chapter on how to not get murdered. "Don't go out on dates. Don't go out on dates with men."
