Overview
"The essays in this collection reflect on my experiences in small spaces—from a closet-sized studio apartment, to the passenger seat of my father's car, to a windowless room in an electrolysis treatment center, to a single pew in a church, and more. In these spaces, I explore times when I have felt distant to people who are very close to me and close to people who I have never met. I also question whether places retain the memories of the people who occupied them, and whether this memory can be intuited by others. Small Spaces examines the effects of distance and proximity, both physical and emotional, and how this shapes who we are." -- Abstract
