Astonishing Tales – stories and essays. Your astonishment may vary

Today we go back to 2018 to a fun interview, to find a reason to smile every day. Teri Knight talks with Matt Geiger who sets out to astonish us with his newest book, “Astonishing Tales – stories and essays.  Your astonishment may vary”.  Finding the awe in everyday, the humor in the mundane; he tells tales of parenting, competitive axe throwing, death, the holidays and much, much more. From the 83-year-old model whose image adorns the cover of the book, to the two-headed calf he discovers in a rural Wisconsin gas station, he finds reason after reason to smile, nod, and be astonished by everyday life.  He’s a fun interview and “Astonishing Tales” would be a great vacation book. geigerbooks.com
