Neck Deep and Other Predicaments is an innovative and engaging nonfiction debut by "an original new voice" (Publishers Weekly) and the winner of the 2006 Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize In this sparkling nonfiction debut, Ander Monson uses unexpectedly nonliterary forms--the index, the Harvard Outline, the mathematical proof--to delve into an equally surprising mix of obsessions: disc golf, the history of mining in northern Michigan, car washes, topology, and more.

I am really amazed by this guy's writing. Can't wait to read all his books. (

For the most part these essays of Monson's were so very good. The only reason I couldn't give this book five stars is I had to skip some because of their layouts. But the seven of twelve I did read were fantastic, amazing even, and I highly recommend this book to essay lovers. I write about it in more interesting detail here:

Monson's conventional essays are intelligent, very well written and often funny in an understated way, despite the "offbeat" topics (frisbee golf, automated car washes, telegrams, etc.). But I ended up having to skip the more "experimental" essays, as they were cute and too clever by half. (
