About How We Disappear and Why

From acclaimed fiction writer Kyle Minor emerges a collection of essays all about disappearing.

Considering a wide scope of cultural, historical, spiritual, and philosophical figures and ideas, Minor assembles a collection of essays centered on the concept of disappearance. Considering subjects like ghosts (think Shakespeare and The Sixth Sense), lost temples, professional erasure and strategic exile, these essays dig deep into the cultural and historical archives of our civilization. Minor's keen wit and perception ensure one thing: readers will never forget this book.

"From the first page of Kyle Minor's extraordinary sequence of essays, the voice of this book--nerve-wracked, radiant, self-flaying--soars out to the edge of what's possible, and necessary, to speak aloud. And stays there, out on that edge, speaking truth to various powers, including the power of shame. The result is a triumph."--Jonathan Lethem, author of Brooklyn Crime Novel
