An innovative and engaging nonfiction debut by "an original new voice" (Publishers Weekly) and the winner of the 2006 Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize
In this sparkling nonfiction debut, Ander Monson uses unexpectedly nonliterary forms—the index, the Harvard Outline, the mathematical proof—to delve into an equally surprising mix of obsessions: disc golf, the history of mining in northern Michigan, car washes, topology, and more. He reflects on his outsider experience at an exclusive Detroit-area boarding school in the form of a criminal history and invents a new form as he meditates on snow.
…Monson, one must admit, is pretty darn clever. Calling him an essayist is a bit of stretch—he's more like a daft, spoofing technician of not-quite-literary forms.

reviewed Neck Deep and Other Predicaments on March 31, 2007 Neck Deep and Other Predicaments
Obsession with form, with order, with technology, new and obsolete. Obsession with control, especially control over technology, form, weather, human emotions and interactions. Connections. Or is it an obsession about how all of the above control slash connect us? Do we strive for order out of chaos or do we want to create chaos out of order? In my humble opinion, this is the overriding theme throughout this wonderful book of essays.
