From the publisher’s website:

“Many of my friends have begun to make a living for themselves in places outside
of Cleveland. I generally have little interest in their success, unless of course that
success takes place in New York City and they are desperate for a roommate.
Should that be the case, they ought to call me immediately. Their troubles will be
quelled in as much time as it takes me to buy an Amtrak ticket. I remind them that
my card is on file and Cleveland has a daily train service to Moynihan Train Hall.”
(from Internship Report)

This may be the first collection from Mays, but these essays initially came out from his zine that takes its name from that fateful connection to New York.

Cameron Mays is from Cleveland, then Brecksville, then Cleveland again, and now New York. He does not have a federally compliant ID, but he does have a valid driver's license. This is the first collection of his writing.
