The Middle of Things

Arts & Literature

“Meghan Florian’s debut essay collection The Middle of Things shines with candor and intelligence. In the opening essay, Florian offers, ‘I developed an internal dialogue, and a renewed sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around me.’ It is from this dialogue that bursts forth a myriad of admissions the reader will find effortlessly drawn and endlessly engaging. In essay after essay, guided by her unwavering connection to Kierkegaard’s work, Florian presents an ongoing interrogation of the self, recasting doubts and declarations, while forging a voice that is singular and assured.”
