We witness scenes of passionate, even violent intensity that give rise to meditations on eros and literature, the solitariness of travel, and the poetics of place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese individual pieces, most of which first appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe London Review of Books \u003c\/i\u003eand won an international cult following, are by turns poignant, surreal, down home and lyrical, a mixture of qualities that inheres in his language with uncommon delicacy and effect (Leonard Michaels). Together they make up an intellectual and emotional autobiography on the run. The book's final section, about Kleinzahler's adored, doomed older brother, is unforgettable, and since its appearance last year in the \u003ci\u003eLRB\u003c\/i\u003e, has already entered the literature as one of the most moving contemporary memoirs.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAugust Kleinzahler\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of ten books of poetry, most recently \u003ci\u003eThe Strange Hours Travelers Keep\u003c\/i\u003e.
