Table of ContentsReviewsHuber embodies Montaigne's proverbial 'runaway horse mind' as she adopts an unwavering split stance as both freethinker and keen observer, unapologetically acknowledging her own unruly yet intriguing mental patterns. I felt like a piece of wood drifting across the ocean, pleasurably caught in waves of sentences bumping me from one idea to another and making me reluctant to return to shore. --Adriana Paramo, author of Unsent Letters to My Mother It's hard not to be impressed with the ambition of Sonya Huber's Supremely Tiny Acts. A day can be made to encapsulate almost everything: the minor (the simple joy of half-and-half) and the major (looming climate catastrophe, parenthood, sexual violence, and what we owe to one another). It's a thrill when Huber pulls it off. -- Ander Monson, author of I Will Take the Answer: Essays Huber's skill shines in her capacity to wind these stories into meaningful narratives...a witty mind, full of delightful surprises...an intimate pleasure. --Linda Levitt, PopMatters It's hard not to be impressed with the ambition of Sonya Huber's Supremely Tiny Acts. A day can be made to encapsulate almost everything: the minor (the simple joy of half-and-half) and the major (looming climate catastrophe, parenthood, sexual violence, and what we owe to one another). It's a thrill when Huber pulls it off. --Ander Monson, author of I Will Take the Answer: Essays Only a writer with impeccable narrative control could weave so many threads into one story, or could make what is surely endlessly labored-over prose read so effortless, so heat-of-the-moment real....[Supremely Tiny Acts is] a book about what it looks like to try. It's a book that knows exactly how hard it is to try ... But we have to anyway because the world is waiting on us--is counting on us--to try. --Anna Sims, The Linden Review Huber embodies Montaigne's proverbial 'runaway horse mind' as she adopts an unwavering split stance as both freethinker and keen observer, unapologetically acknowledging her own unruly yet intriguing mental patterns. I felt like a piece of wood drifting across the ocean, pleasurably caught in waves of sentences bumping me from one idea to another and making me reluctant to return to shore. --Adriana Paramo, author of Unsent Letters to My Mother Author InformationSonya Huber is the author of the award-winning essay collection on chronic pain, Pain Woman Takes Your Keys and Other Essays from a Nervous System, as well as Opa Nobody and Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir.
