Description

Charles D'Ambrosio's essay collection Orphans (Clear Cut, 2005) 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 copy's safe return.

For anyone familiar with D'Ambrosio's writing, this enthusiasm should come as no surprise. Loitering gathers those 11 original essays with new and previously uncollected work so that a broader audience might discover one of our great writers.
