Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Tracing the nuances of a short-lived life, this involving and sympathetically written novel maintains a tone of finely judged tension between laughter and tears. Jonathon Bender had something to tell the world, but the world wouldnt listen. However, he left behind him unsent letters addressed to relatives, friends, neighbors, coaches, teachers, classmates, professors, roommates, psychiatrists, employers, his younger self, former girlfriends, his ex-wife, a TV station, and God, among many others. This unsent correspondence forms the narrative of a remarkable life. Review:"There is a whole life contained in this slim novel, a life as funny and warm and sad and heartbreaking as any other, rendered with honest complexity and freshness by Kimball's sharp writing." Matt Bell, LA Times Review:"Occasionally a novel by a new writer will cause critics to choke with excitement. This is one." The Scotsman Review:"By turns hilarious and haunting — and always thrillingly deep, surprising, and pitch-perfect... confirms Kimball's reputation as one of our most supremely gifted and virtuosic renderers of the human predicament. It's as moving a novel as I have read in years." Gary Lutz About the AuthorMichael Kimball is the author of How Much of Us There Was and The Way the Family Got Away. He lives in Baltimore.
