Matthew Simmons thanks Russell Edson and has studied with Charles D'Ambrosio. Matthew Simmons is a blogger and works at a bookstore. This book is sewn with thread. It is delightful.

Selfishly, it's nice to know that this kind of writing can find its way into the world, even if it means flinging it out there oneself. This book definitely strikes a chord with some of my own literary sensibilities.

My favorites: "The Toast at the Anniversary Party and All I Hadn’t Wanted to Say in It" and "Dear Scope Mouthwash."
