Mike Nagel returns with the final piece from Issue Ten. Mike’s newest is centered around a trip to AWP in Kansas City last year, but it’s not all nerd convention stuff. There’s also junk mail for sale, first-class flying on points, and an expression of care every day to each child.

This essay—and all the work we published this week—appears in the print edition of Issue Ten. Mike’s beloved column “The Unintentionalist,” which ran for a year in Little Engines, appears unabridged in Archive. Both are out now.
