"I love this book, love the strangely detailed world that accumulates through letters, lists, yearbook quotes and psychological evaluations. And 1 love the character of Jonathon Bender, the way he makes me so sad and also makes me laugh so hard. He will stay with me forever." Jessica Anya Blau, author of The Summer of Naked Swim Parties
Jonathon Bender had something to say to the world, but the world wouldn't listen. However, he left behind unsent letters addressed to relatives, friends, teachers, classmates, professors, roommates, employers, former girlfriends, his ex-wife, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, the state of Michigan, and a weather satellite, among many others. These form the narrative of a remarkable life.
Dear Everybody maintains a tone of finely judged tension between laughter and tears in an involving and sympathetically written work of fiction. Vissza
