I'm going to really go out on a limb here and say this book is in my top ten books of the decade. This is a book that stays with you, sometimes wakes you up in a cold sweat, haunts your private thoughts.
"Brief History" has so many story strands, but it's the beauty of being bundled together, touching through thought instead of words. It's your family history.
I can guarantee this book will move you by the end, if not sooner. Brockmeier has some marvelous thoughts and ideas and theories. I think I saw my life flash before me.
Do yourself a favor and read this book. Get it any way you can, your local public library should probably have it in its stacks.
One of the very few books I've ever read twice.
