"Wildly funny, caustic, subversive, and a little bizarre around the edges...A wonderfully original and confident voice."---Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors
"These 'elsewheres, ' as he calls them, are Stuever's speciality.... They form a coherent, often funny, even lovely rendering of one man's curious embrace of the world."---Washingtonian
"[Stuever] reaches to the core of the human condition.... A mixture of compelling writing style and deep reflection."---The Denver Post
"His curiosity, taste for the offbeat, humility, and mellifluous phrasing combine to make this book...a reminder that reading a newspaper can sometimes be a joy and not some tedious civic chore."---The Seattle Times
"Marvelous...worth reading for the writing alone."---San Francisco Chronicle
Hank Stuever's work is currently seen in The Washington Post, where he is a staff writer. He has twice been named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in feature writing and has appeared on Today, MSNBCp0, and various radio programs. He lives in Washington, D.C.
