Future Missionaries of America

San Francisco: MacAdam Cage, 2009. UNCORRECTED PROOF, preceding the First Edition. Humorously INSCRIBED to fellow writer Chris Offutt on the title page: "To Chris, This is the second inscription I'm writing today. If I see this on eBay later, you're dead. <3 Deputy Vollmer / Matthew Vollman / 4/01/10." and with a further typed letter laid in: "Hi Chris, Thanks again for agreeing to endorse my book. It was great to catch up with you a few weeks ago and I'm looking forward to your visit to VT next year. Hope all's well in Iowa. Best, Matthew."

From the collection of Chris Offutt.

Offutt is the author of “Kentucky Straight” and other short story collections, novels, nonfiction, and memoirs, and, in 1996, was named one of the twenty Best Young American Novelists by “Granta” magazine. He has also written for popular television shows and national publications, has been visiting faculty at numerous institutions including the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, and has received awards from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and others.
