Saturday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Ander Monson is the Michigan-based author of a novel, a book of poems, and now, the imaginative, Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize-winning book of essays, Neck Deep and Other Predicaments (Graywolf). "Unapologetically smart, unexpectedly emotional, and playful in ways that most nonfiction never attempts, Ander Monson's Neck Deep and Other Predicaments is what we mean when we say essay." - John D'Agata. "For Monson the essay is something like a schematics for our fiercest longings and most ecstatic inventions. Every time I turn to it I'm astonished all over again by the majesty of this book." - Robert Polito, Judge.
