Loitering: New and Collected Essays

New York TimesNotable Book
Winner of the Washington State Book Prize
D'Ambrosio is already considered one of America's premier short story writers, but Loitering cements his place as one of our great living essayists.
Charles Dâ‚¬Ambrosioâ‚¬s essay collection Orphans spawned something of a cult following. In the decade since the tiny limited-edition volume sold out its print run, its devotees have pressed it upon their friends, students, and colleagues, only to find themselves begging for their copyâ‚¬s safe return. For anyone familiar with Dâ‚¬Ambrosioâ‚¬s writing, this enthusiasm should come as no surprise. His work is exacting and emotionally generous, often as funny as it is devastating. Loitering gathers those eleven original essays with new and previously uncollected work, so that a broader audience might discover one of our great living essayists. No matter his subjectâ‚¬â€¢Native American whaling, a Pentecostal â‚¬Å“hell house,â‚¬Â Mary Kay Letourneau, the work of J.D. Salinger, or, most often, his own familyâ‚¬â€¢Dâ‚¬Ambrosio approaches each piece with a singular voice and point of view; each essay, while unique and surprising, is unmistakably his own.
