A book about one man's fine madness, The Intersection tells the story of the author's seventeen years of trips (1,063 trips in all) to the same street corner in Gilbert, Arizona, where he recorded 13,318 birds.

Escribi estos cuentos para practicar mi espanol y para guardar mis experiencias para la posteridad.
