And often, whether his subject is rats or NASA or skateboarding or soccer, that work is provocative and huge-hearted."-Alex Lemon, Dallas Morning News"Sometimes he's funny and self-deprecating and sometimes he's somber; sometimes his scope is as sweeping as our country, and other times it's as narrow as Buzz Aldrin's taste in wristwatches. There's one through-line from beginning to end, though: those careful, thoughtful, perfect sentences."-Alison Hallett, Portland Mercury"Generation-defining . . . a welcome chronicle of our age."-David Kurlander, San Francisco Bay Guardian
