A note from Bonnie: 

When I first encountered the work of Bruce Boeck, I had a very simple reaction: “Yes. He gets it.” Not in a big, theatrical way, but in the quiet precision that comes from paying close attention to people—their habits, the moments when they don’t quite connect, and the ways they manage to find their footing again. His writing has an ease that feels familiar from the first sentence. It’s funny without belittling the characters, and even when their behavior edges toward the absurd, they remain grounded and human. You feel an immediate connection. Pulling that off is no small feat.
