Donald Breckenridge's stunning prose spins into life a world of ideas and art — that nevertheless can come to a dead halt in a heartbeat.
"With YOU ARE HERE Donald Breckenridge presents a brilliant and transgressive work that re-thinks the backward glance from disaster in such a way that shows how slippery perception and memory can be. YOU ARE HERE is a masterful sleight of hand, a novel to be read and re-read many times."

His characters are all the people we pass on the street and fall in love with for an instant. Reading YOU ARE HERE is like listening to competitive radios on the beach — the music of the immediate present — wistful, insistent, dreamlike, totally real."
- Lewis Warsh

We rush ahead, in his "beauty," which is people opening while oblique in the outdoors that simultaneously is equally active. One such passage noting in passing police officers' "supervision" suggests the sense of his text: ordinary events in being exchanges have super vision."
