“A really good, honest confessional essay works a little like hypnotism. Its language is direct and rhythmic. It makes you focus. And even if at first you think, ‘I can’t believe the author is telling me this,’ eventually it convinces you to want to be as brave and open as the author. After reading just a few of the pieces in Chloe Caldwell’s Legs Get Led Astray, I’m pretty sure I’d be willing to tell her anything about myself if she asked. Mesmerism, pure and simple.”—Matthew, University Bookstore, Seattle. Buy Legs Get Led Astray from your local indie.
