J.D. Daniels, The Correspondence ****

Questions that occurred to me as I read this brilliant, baffling book: What the hell is this? Who the hell is this? Is this poetry? How can a sentence be this good?
This laudatory quote from the cover of The Correspondence sums up my reaction. I found it in the Essays section of the store, but it reads like fiction. It's called The Correspondence and each chapter is titled "Letter from [Placename]," but it's not structured in epistolatory form. The cover design looks like a faux notebook, but it's not confessional.

I don't know how to describe it. It's short -- 126 pages -- so read it and explain its appeal to me.
