J.A. Hijiya writes: “It’s been a year since I independently published a memoir, A Piece of Valiant Dust: An Essay in Living, and the number of sales on Amazon has already reached two figures. The book is not really about me but about everybody and what they do: walking, itching and scratching, seeing (or not), eating and drinking, reading and writing, and even dying, though I haven’t technically done the last one yet. In the book I write about people at Brown. I never mention the University by name, but the people are not quite as fortunate.”
