PREORDER

“Tyler Dempsey is a nomad, and under the increasing and otherworldly threat of A.I., has written a book of essays that are so original, and so varied in scope and sensibility, that my hope for real books written by real people has suddenly been renewed. In subjects that range from living and working in almost as many places as the years he’s been alive, to running in a marathon, and telling us about all the places where he’s slept, these essays—some of them brief as photographs—are filled with the kind of restless curiosity that perfectly matches the search for meaning in a peripatetic life. And that’s what makes them as surprising as they are essential. Oh… and he’s very funny.” — Michael Klein, author of Happiness Ruined Everything

“If you enjoy essays, and by essays I mean thinking deeply about life, you should buy this damn book. Part travelogue, part quest to understand the self, art making, and meaning, Tyler Dempsey’s Denali, Alaska delivers the robust pleasures of camping out in someone else’s capacious mind. When it comes to essays, what else could anyone ask for?” — Andrew Bertaina, author of The Body Is A Temporary Gathering Place

Tyler Dempsey is the author of five previous books and was the host of Another Fucking Writing Podcast. He lives in a small town in northern Arizona with his family. This is his first essay collection.
