- Summary
- "Winner of the 2021 Monadnock Essay Collection prize, Whiskey Boys: And Other Meditations from the Abyss at the End of Youth is a lively collection of literary essays about bars, booze, and traveling the American West. The book follows the author from small-town Illinois to the West Coast after he abandons a legal career to pursue writing.

Other threads include travel, wanderlust, the psychological effect of place, and mortality"--
