Publisher's Synopsis
Literary Nonfiction. Fiction. Cross-Genre. Having conjured up that particular mix of will, heartwreck, and sheer wonder that makes for a large part of the human condition, Gutstein presents it to us through the nuance-rippled glass of his unique vision--a vision at once powerful, canny, restless, and sweeping--in sentences that make of muscularity a haunting new music. Deadpan poignancy and a fable-like resonance to these 'non-fictions'--a striking debut--Carl Phillips. Dan Gutstein is one of the most dangerous writers operating in America today. He bends form, bends language, and bends your ear, making NON/FICTION a book that poets and prosers, alike, can celebrate. May it become the Gold Standard for multi-genre writing--Kevin Moffett.
