An Excerpt From Matthew J. C. Clark’s “Bjarki, Not Bjarki”
We’re pleased to present an excerpt from Matthew J. C. Clark’s new book Bjarki, Not Bjarki — out now from the University of Iowa Press. It’s about lumber, the state of the nation, surreal transformations, and a whole lot more. “As a carpenter, I was interested in these American Dream Boards and I wanted to profile the owner, Bjarki Thor Gunnarsson,” Clark recalled in an interview with Writer’s Digest. “However, Bjarki turned out not to be who I wanted him to be—whatever that means.” Read on for an excerpt from Clark’s expansive work of nonfiction.
