Nice selection of essays/stories. Nice variety of subject matter. I had never heard of this author prior, but I will be looking for him again. I found myself getting done what was ahead of me for the day to pick this book back up and continue reading. Some of the stories will resonant with the reader, maybe due to similar situations, which I feel adds something to the essays. Thank you for sharing with us. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book. Receiving the book in this manner, had no bearing on this review.
