“This is an intimate portrait of a man as writer. No other work, or person, can look back at the whole of John Nichols’ life as John himself can. It’s a book less about the craft of writing than what it feels like to try to live an ethical life as an artist. It is a beautifully tangled and complex story—a work that feels both intensely considered and as casual as someone talking to you over the kitchen table at two in the morning.”—Paul Skenazy, author of Temper CA
“John Nichols is a master storyteller, a man possessed of a gift for prose metaphor unsurpassed in his generation.”—V. B. Price, author of The Orphaned Land: New Mexico’s Environment Since the Manhattan Project
