Charles D'Ambrosio's essay collection "Orphans" spawned something
of a cult following. In the decade since the tiny limited-edition
volume sold out its print run, its devotees have pressed it upon
their friends, students, and colleagues, only to find themselves
begging for their copy's safe return. For anyone familiar with
D'Ambrosio's writing, this enthusiasm should come as no surprise.
His work is exacting and emotionally generous, often as funny as it
is devastating. "Loitering" gathers those eleven original essays
with new and previously uncollected work so that a broader audience
might discover one of our great living essayists. No matter his
subject -- Native American whaling, a Pentecostal "hell house,"
Mary Kay Letourneau, the work of J. D. Salinger, or, most often,
his own family -- D'Ambrosio approaches each piece with a singular
voice and point of view; each essay, while unique and surprising,
is unmistakably his own.
