Stories in the Key of Read follows Ryan Pak through his music-devoted 20s in a series of transparently-penned nonfiction shorts. Fans of David Sedaris, Chuck Klosterman, and anyone who has survived young adulthood can appreciate the humor and heartbreak--from the death of record stores to relationships and the perils of living paycheck to paycheck--that come together in this sheet music to the cacophony that is life.
