Brooding: Arias, Choruses, Lullabies, Follies, Dirges, and a Duet - Crux: The Georgia Series in Literary Nonfiction Series

This collection of more than twenty-five essays, both meditative and formally inventive, considers all kinds of subjects: everyday objects such as keys and hats, plus concepts of time and place; the memoir; writing; the essay itself; and Michael Martone's friendship with the writers David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Franzen, and Kurt Vonnegut.
