About the Author
Reviews
"A reflective mosaic, made up of some of the most exciting voices in American literature today."
-Jaquira Díaz
"The 71 essays in The Past Ten may be 'fun-sized' (1,000 words max) but boy, do they pack a wallop. Heartbreaking and heartmending, even the most harrowing of them full of hope."
-David Jauss
"The many memoirists assembled here create compelling codas, artificial endings, closing parentheses in order to look back and look closely, sift and sort, assess and assay with gifted elan and elegant exegesis, and see for the very first time these very mean and memorable meanings. "
-Michael Martone
"What a powerful and brimming treasure trove of stories this is: stories of transformation, of metamorphosis, of loss, of love, and of becoming. A persuasive and ingenious ode to time: its waves and meanders, its sharp curves and gentle arms."
