The Journal of Albion Moonlight found its way to me as I was shelving books in the used bookstore where I used to work. A beat-up copy of a New Directions paperback with scribblings inside, I began salivating the instant I saw it. With comparisons to Camus on the back cover and praise from Henry Miller (“Nothing like it has been written…in all English literature it stands alone”), it was too on the nose, up my alley, a pair of gloves made just for me. I purchased it without giving any customers a chance. 

I expected a couple punches to the gut.
