About this product
Product Information
Ron Carlson is a master of the contemporary short story. In The Blue Box , he extends that mastery to the short short story, offering us a captivating glimpse of a writer at play. With that voice of his--sharp, sensitive, and wry, brimming with good humor--Carlson inhabits one standby after another of the American pop landscape, past and present: monster flicks, action heroes, unsupervised teenagers, blogging. Coming in for special scrutiny is the world of education, in hilarious send-ups of recommendation letters, teacher evaluations, style guides, and a MOOC. Whimsical, wistful, and gently surreal, The Blue Box delights in life's unending absurdities, and reminds us not to take anything--especially ourselves--too seriously.

Reviews
"Carlson never drops an extra word or a false phrase." --The Washington Post "Carlson's focus is transporting, absorbing. It shakes you from stupor, strips you down. He understands that most of us live in a world of enervating crap, whether in the cliffs of Idaho or the canyons of the city." --Esquire "Carlson transforms the comic junkpile of Americas waning prosperity into a livable, if harsh, landscape." --The Chicago Tribune "His poems are conversational, extremely accessible, willfully casual and consistently funny, but also laced with a lightly worn sadness, a symptom of everyday heartache." --Ron Padgett "Carlson's a romantic--even when he's writing about failings, folly and violence." --The Los Angeles Times "Carlson writes about the natural world with convincing authority... with Ron Carlson, you really are in expert hands." --The New York Times Book Review "Carlson captures the ordinary occurrences that define our lives." --Publishers Weekly, Carlson never drops an extra word or a false phrase." —The Washington Post Carlson's focus is transporting, absorbing.
