It took me a while to acclimate to the format of Q&A cycling through varied authors and topics, but somewhere about half way through it, I settled in and began to enjoy the ride. Unfortunately, my poor memory needs a more linear (narrative) structure and/or logical argument and arrangement to be able to retain the whole. I may be able to recall bits and pieces, especially the story of the spider and web that spans the whole. The positive aspect of this is that I will be able to return to it with ease and with anticipation, knowing that something good is in store around the next bend or page turn, but not remembering exactly what it is.
I certainly recommend it to authors and creative types, and to those who enjoy reading, especially reading about writing.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this, as I have never read anything like it. This book-length essay is filled with pieces of wisdom from thinkers of all kinds: artists, writers, activists, scientists, philosophers, and many more. The topics include what it means to be a writer, nature, race, class, ecology, and SO much more.
This was an easy read because of the format: an interview question followed by a response. After reading this, I genuinely feel more connected to the world around me. Paper Concert challenges the way we think, and the way we relate to the world and each other. Overall: I’d really recommend this read.
It contains insight and thoughts from artists, activists, and other thinkers. The range of topics spans from the climate to social issues (even on opinions regarding ketchup!), but overall reminds us that we are all connected. It's beautifully knowledgable and nostalgic.
