The Middle of Things

Arts & Literature

“Florian writes about faith and hope and life and learning a la Anne Lamott and Sarah Manguso. She’s bright, quick, lively, and fresh, a young master of the essay, which she uses as a vehicle to delight, analyze, explore, digress. She ambles from Kierkegaard to Radiohead and back again without ever losing track of her central question: how do I make—and furnish—a meaningful life?”
