“Beguiling… a tour de force… exceptional, Pushcart-worthy pieces of observation and reportage.” -Kirkus Reviews
“A bravura feat of bearing witness. McGrath’s all-seeing eye ranges across borders and through wormholes in the culture. These essays illuminate a fractured age with the arc and blaze of signal flares.” -Wells Tower, author of Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned
“Rollicking… McGrath brings sharp observations and keen curiosity to these globe-trotting essays… [McGrath] is adept at capturing the world with a buoyant sense of wonder.” -Publisher’s Weekly
“These essays are about the ways we scramble to defeat isolation, how we reach out and grasp a companion’s elbow. This book offers a better understanding of the peripheries of the world and of ourselves, of the joys and evils that reside at the edges. McGrath’s writing provides more satisfaction and wisdom than we could fairly ask for.” -John Brandon, author of Ivory Shoals and Citrus County
