Nick M. picked this one. Our first memoir in Paul Lisicky's "The Narrow Door," covers nearly 30 years of a life of love, loss, and friendship. Goddamn that is such a reductive summary. What we find in this beautiful work is the nuance of feeling that comes from a thoughtful and poetic observer of one's own life. Lisicky pairs with Smith in this way as we are drawn into the pain of a life by way of a beautifully restrained voice that plants tiny mines in the mind to be set off when one feels the same panic or pain. DISCLAIMER: We did not find St. Ides and instead drank some Old E. It happens. The craft revolution is upon us. We are bette for it. But a 40 now and hen won't kill you. ENJOY
