From the rear cover
"Nunokawa's little notes are wonderfully seductive: knowing, intimate, penetrating, bashful--like witty billets-doux from an astonishingly literate secret admirer."--Laura Kipnis, author of Men: Notes from an Ongoing Investigation
"Born in the digital medium, Nunokawa's extraordinary literary experiment fuses many forms--journal, essay, criticism, aphorism, anecdote, letter, commonplace book--into what he calls 'notes, ' which are not so much supreme fictions as they are the humbler fictions that sustain the true heroism of everyday life."--John Guillory, New York University
"Jeff Nunokawa has gathered a dedicated following on Facebook, where these notes have been a work-in-progress for some years. To see the selection collected here, it is clear why. Possessed of a singular, sympathetic intelligence, he has, in these crystalline meditations--these daily devotions--produced a work of strange and enduring wonder. Nunokawa is a teacher in the best sense: he shows how literature can weave itself into a life, and how a life might better be lived when enhanced by the supple, tensile strength that literature alone can offer."--Rebecca Mead, author of My Life in Middlemarch
"Note Book allows us to see a human being unfolding and finding his way--in writing and, apparently, not only there. It's as though Nunokawa has figured out a way to make the internet--and social media in particular--show off all its best attributes, without falling into its many traps. This is radically awakened--and awakening--writing."--Jody Greene, University of California, Santa Cruz
"This is a remarkable book. The reader can see levels of self-reflective thoughtfulness developing as Nunokawa changes through the experience of his writing, and writes about the experience of those changes. It's a wonderful thing to observe."--William Flesch, Brandeis University
