Baptizing the Dead and Other Jobs (Paperback)

Winner of the Monadnock Essay Collection Prize

 

Competition judge Anne Barngrover says "I was struck from the first sentence by the crystalline narrative voice - sometimes uncanny, sometimes weird, but always precise, unflinching, and painfully self-aware - and the experimentation with form as a way to dig deeper and question ideas of religion, family, place, community, masculinity, death, and the self. These essays, and their narrator, wouldn’t shake from me after I read them. I wholeheartedly recommend Baptizing the Dead and Other Jobs."
