I knew Adam as a student before he founded @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social and became one of the city's most committed literary citizens. His first book, on Margaret C. Anderson, continues that work, and I'm frankly thrilled to read it. Strikes me as a hell of a gift, too:

I wrote about traveling to the Navajo Nation and helping to distribute 1,800 skateboards, which more or less changed my understanding of what a skateboard is. Also, what the desert is.

If you haven’t bought/read The Most Fun Thing, what have you been doing with your time?
I wrote a very serious book about the world's least serious thing and I am more proud of it than anything else I've done. Phenomenology! Performance theory! Anatheism and even some William Gass!
