Summary:
Sean Wilsey travels across the U.S., from the launchpad at Cape Canaveral, to the isolated artists' enclave of Marfa, Texas, to the boardrooms and ballrooms of post 9/11 New York City. He captures his surroundings with the precision of a photographer and the raw grace of a skateboarder (he's an amateur practitioner of both arts). And his eye always finds an unrivaled intensity of detail: here, and only here, will a reader be privy to the Dostoyevskian whiff of Marfa's fugitive underbelly, the unsung delights of a skater rag's cooking column, the exact amount of time elapsed since the soundwaves of a long-lost, legendary World Cup broadcast passed out of our solar system. These essays -- originally published from 1998 to 2013 in Vanity Fair, GQ, McSweeney's, and elsewhere -- comprise nearly fifteen years of Wilsey's most vital work on the glory and the misery, the beauty and absurdity of contemporary America. Sean Wilsey was a journalist for The New Yorker magazine, and is the author of a memoir, Oh the Glory of It All. He lives in Marfa, Texas.
