Synopsis

A cross-country Greyhound journey becomes the spine of this memoir — a search for someone, anyone, to witness a life fully lived and fully unraveling at once, carried out in an age when witness itself has been outsourced to a feed.

Structured around what its author calls the book's "Oz spine," the Special Edition integrates case material originally written for a separate work into the pilgrimage narrative itself — the road, the stops, and the reckoning braided into a single architecture rather than kept apart.

A search for witness, undertaken the only way it could be — alone, moving, and refusing to look away.

On the Structure

The Oz Spine

The book's structure was built and locked around a single architectural principle before a word of the final edit was set — every chapter measured against it, every section either earning its place on that spine or cut. What that means for the reader reveals itself in the reading.
