“You’ll read Robert Fromberg’s Gee, That Was Fun with a continuously mounting delight at what he is pulling off. Are these people and events real or fictional? You soon won’t care, because you’re in Fromberg’s world now, a specific week in 1983, where you’ll find the profound amid the quotidian, as long as you know exactly where to look. Just don’t have the patty melt.” —Justin Bryant, author of Thunder from a Clear Blue Sky

“Fragmented yet unified, direct yet elusive, How to Walk with Steve is a vivid memoir about family and geography, obligation and freedom. Fromberg has a remarkable ability to inject meaning into silence, into the cracks between sections, into all the things that remain unsaid.”
—Brett Biebel, author of 48 Blitz
“Fromberg has created a memoir that shines like polished bone.”
—Patricia Eakins, author of The Hungry Girls and Other Stories
“As we leaned in his memoir How to Walk with Steve, Fromberg possesses rare chronic patience—which, in turn, enables him to be an ultimate observer. Now, in this collection of dissecting essays, we’re reminded of how masterfully he can transpose his perceptions into essential commentary, at once able to welcome and scrutinize minutia any lesser writer would overlook entirely.”
—Gabriel Hart, author of Fallout from Our Asphalt Hell
