Abstract:
This collection of essays travels a path from working in restaurants, and studying
abroad in Florence, to dealing with death and obsessively researching a chilling
crime in Kalamazoo—all along the author’s route to becoming a journalist,
and finding romance in between. Taylor makes unlikely decisions. His book utilizes
unconventional forms, frank imagery, and a dark sense of humor. The question is:
how do we figure out where to go, after becoming who we never expected to be?
