August is the perfect month for an essay collection: pieces to read between dips in the water, bike rides, and hikes—or wherever summer takes you. Our free e-book for August isPlaying in Time: Essays, Profiles, and Other True Stories by Carlo Rotella.
From jazz fantasy camp to running a movie studio; from a fight between an old guy and a fat guy to a fear of clowns—Playing in Time delivers good stories full of vivid characters, all told with the unique voice and humor that have garnered Rotella many devoted readers in the New York Times Magazine, Boston Globe,and Washington Post Magazine, among others.
“The strength of his new essay collection comes from the odd places he finds these headliners: on the suburban D.C.-area blues circuit, in Chicago’s polka clubs and at fantasy jazz camps in the Northeast. But like other greats of the nonfiction craft—Joan Didion, John Jeremiah Sullivan—Rotella’s own personality eventually comes through.”—Time Out Chicago
