Neck Deep And Other Predicaments

A sparkling non-fiction debut using unexpectedly non-literary 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. Monson remembers the telegram, a disappearing form, and reflects on his outsider's experience at an exclusive Detroit area boarding school in the form of a criminal history.
