So-called stories of the past 40 years chronicling my existence in the East Village of Manhattan – from youthful bewilderment to a perhaps more mature assessment of the peculiarities: Girlfriends in the witness protection program, remembrance of movie theaters, what I should have said to Jimmy Fallon and one in the voice of IB Singer.

Greg Masters’s You Among the Coordinates really wrapped its way around my soul. There were moments when I laughed and related many times with the subject material, and there were moments when I wept. The words will touch you and embrace you…A beautiful melodic pairing of words is found all throughout You Among the Coordinates and you won’t want to miss the trip that it takes your body, mind, and soul on.

You Among the Coordinates does not aim for a grand lesson or highlight in the plot. Instead, the work includes day-to-day experiences and reshapes them into transcendent moments by focusing on the main character’s observations and perspectives. Other characters come and go from Greg’s life…You Among the Coordinates by Greg Masters is an imaginative and straightforward literary piece.

You Among the Coordinates is a gem of a book for its elegant style and charming story. Among its best features, its great storytelling is the one that stands out. Masters has a way of writing that is natural, and that makes the story easy to understand. The descriptions, especially those of settings and places, are richly detailed. You Among the Coordinates is praiseworthy for the way it presents its protagonist’s mind. His meditations are the thread of the book and become more and more elaborate. You clearly understand his development and evolution. This story is as charming and delicate as the soft color of the book cover suggests. I recommend You Among the Coordinates to readers who like to be lulled by words and who appreciate quiet but meaningful stories.
