From reviews of the hardcover edition:
“More Curious begins by making you wonder what kind of book it is, exactly, and ends by reminding you that categories are nonsense when you’re enjoying something this much.”—Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad
“Mr. Wilsey can write in a range of emotional octaves, moving from the comic to the philosophical to the streetwise with ease, while putting body language on his prose to give the reader an almost synesthetic sense of what he’s saying.”—Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
“More Curious captures the dizzying absurdity of contemporary America.”—Vanity Fair
“Sean Wilsey’s witty essays from his cross-country adventures form a portrait of the weird side of contemporary America.”—Los Angeles Times
“When Wilsey is at his best, and he often is in More Curious, his prose has a barely contained energy that makes his work both informative and entertaining. And often, whether his subject is rats or NASA or skateboarding or soccer, that work is provocative and huge-hearted.”—Alex Lemon, Dallas Morning News
“Sometimes he’s funny and self-deprecating and sometimes he’s somber; sometimes his scope is as sweeping as our country, and other times it’s as narrow as Buzz Aldrin’s taste in wristwatches. There’s one through-line from beginning to end, though: those careful, thoughtful, perfect sentences.”—Alison Hallett, Portland Mercury
“Generation-defining . . . a welcome chronicle of our age.”—David Kurlander, San Francisco Bay Guardian
Now in paperback, with a bonus essay not included in the hardcover edition, here is Sean Wilsey’s celebrated collection of essays on the glory and misery, the beauty and absurdity of contemporary America.

It's kind of like Seinfeld....a book about nothing...but it is about slices of the author's life which are funny, informative and make a good read. I wish there were more books like this.Wilsey takes us from Marfa, Texas...about as far as one can get from civilization and still be in the lower forty-eight....to a trip across the south in a truck that can do no more than forty-five. Along the way there's a chapter about buying a dishwasher online....I just bought one so this story was great fun. There's another tale about the World Cup, where he bemoans America's lack of interest in the game, which is curiously a little out of sync after so many Americans were enraptured about soccer recently.There are many more chapters, each with its own flair. "More Curious" is a potpourri of interest with no particular theme or direction....they stand by themselves. But the author's heartwarming tales make it a wonderful read. I highly recommend it!

At 29 my husband and I decided we'd had enough of it and left. Maine was our adventure, and here we have stayed. Reading this book reminded me of what I miss about Texas--the sky, the horizon, the adolescent "life ahead of you " memories. Wilsey captures the uniqueness of Marfa as it was and as it is. And art. And artists. Crazy. Now I will read Infinite Jest and Oh the Glory of it All.
