Loitering: New And Collected Essays

"Charles D’Ambrosio’s essay collection Orphans became a cult classic not long after its 2004 release by a small Portland, Ore., press. Tin House has reissued the long-out-of-print book this year, with a new title, introduction and a few more essays. D’Ambrosio is one of his generation’s most talented writers, and this collection — featuring essays about housing developments, mental illness, Native American whaling and much more — is his masterpiece."
