Almost all the essays were 25-50% too long for their content, which made boredom a constant companion while I read this book. The only exception was the essay on skateboarding, which was interesting from first word to last.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book of essays. I've always wanted to go to Marfa (one of the few places in Texas I *haven't* visited yet), so the fact that this book began and ended with tales of Marfa was a delight. Made me want to visit more than ever. Well, except for the description of black widow spiders.

Wilsey has a knack for drawing you into a specific time and place and what it felt like to be there. I think I was most surprised by how much I enjoyed the essay on skateboarding. I never would have guessed that would be one of my favorites.

Not sure what else Wilsey has written, but I would certainly pick up another of his books.… (meer)
