Listen: Twenty Nine Short Conversations

“Corey Mesler’s page-turning collection offers readers conversation: here is a deeply engaging mode which delights the intelligence while also registering on the nervous system of its readers – a combination that will wake you right up. These pieces also return us to the essence of the gift of conversation itself: that we might learn to live with it – the mysteries and gaps that haunt the human experience. This is an exciting new work from a writer who knows how to position himself in order to truly listen and mercifully invites his readers to do the same.”
