Kyle Buckley's first book, The Laundromat Essay, is a postmodern mix of poetics, absurd parable and essay.

The narrator lives across the street from a Laundromat. The owner of the Laundromat prevents him from entering, because he is looking for his son, Hoopy. The narrator is continuously fractured as he tries to remember the Laundromat and everything else, accurately.
