About the book
Sarah Manguso's 300 Arguments is a sequence of brief aphorisms about desire, ambition, relationships and failure. Read one at a time the pieces look unrelated, but their arrangement builds into a larger whole, and Kirkus Reviews likened her minimalism to the work of Lydia Davis.
Austin Kleon bought it one morning at a San Francisco bookstore and read most of it that same afternoon in the Yerba Buena Gardens.

I had a couple of magical Manguso readings this year: On a summer trip to San Francisco, I bought this in the morning at Christopher’s Books in Potrero, and then read most of it later that afternoon in the Yerba Buena Gardens. Later in the year, I found a used copy of Ongoingness: The End of A Diary in a market in Antigua, Guatemala, and read that in one sitting, too.
