Ander Monson will read from and sign copies of his new book, Vanishing Point: Not a Memoir, an adventurous exploration of the “I” in American culture. Philip Lopate writes, “Monson is an essayist for our technology-besotted, self-unstable times.” Monson is the author of Neck Deep and Other Predicaments (winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize), the novel Other Electricities, and the poetry collections Vacationland and The Available World. He also edits the magazine DIAGRAM.
