No one writes like Alexander Chee, by which I mean that nobody perceives the way he does the heartbreak and exuberance and the utter, glorious mess of living from day to day. This is poignantly clear in his fiction—it is even more so in this essay collection with its Woolfian attention to beauty and to the minute particulars of being human. Chee's wisdom and insight is exquisitely his own, and yet it is also a gift and a guide to all of us. I'm so jealous of everyone who is discovering this author for the first time. For myself, I will cherish this work like I do everything Alex Chee writes. Read cover to cover, obviously, but you'll want to take especial time with "The Rosary."
