Description
Following the acclaimed Dunce , which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, comes Mary Ruefle’s latest prose publication The Book . True to its bold title, The Book affirms Mary Ruefle’s legacy as (dubbed by Publishers Weekly ) ‘the patron saint of childhood and the everyday.’ With the same curiosity found in Madness, Rack, and Honey and My Private Property , Ruefle’s prose here feels both omniscient and especially intimate. ‘It seems I believe in a bygone world though I no longer live there,’ she writes. ‘Will I continue to read about all that is dusty?’ In the spirit of friendship, Ruefle generously invites us to query ourselves as readers and thinkers in a world that will eventually endure without us. ‘Straightforward in form, comic and companionable in tone, blessed with the Martian gift of seeing the strange in the ordinary and vice-versa…’ – Joel Brouwer, Poetry ‘Ruefle’s speakers muse in a very deliberate, declarative syntax in a lot of universalities, generalities, and absolutes, speaking often for all of us.’- Adrien Blevins, Ploughshares —- ISBN: 9781950268849
