Title: John D'Agata's Excellent Challenge
Review: He adventures through the weird things that fascinate all of us, but which few of us take the time to explore. John D'Agata is a writer's writer for his willingness to focus his immense talents and attention on the less literary subjects of the world--the subjects that don't win you prestigious prizes but which win you the attention of serious admirers of talent. Show me a writer in D'Agata's generation with as much talent, patience, vision, gentleness and daring, please! I don't want to imagine that he'll be the only one in the future writing work I care about!
