“The image I hoard from [Another Bullshit Night in Suck City] is of the author walking down a Boston  street with his ‘gnomelike,’ almost comically diminished father —  ’cross-eyed, stiff gait, smaller and smaller.’ I can’t stop thinking of  it: the father—so grandiose, so damaged—tottering crookedly down the  sidewalk, taking credit for the trees that line the street and the steps  that anchor his building.”
—Hannah Nordhaus, author of The Beekeeper’s Lament, sharing her Year in Reading on The Millions
