Apparently, you can't release a book from a major publisher anymore without having a website, and so Crosley had to figure out what to do for content. She wound up making a bunch of dioramas based on her essays, and then wrote an essay about creating the dioramas for the website.

The reading wasn't sara vowell but damn damn funny.book"s'pretty awesome.
