Sometimes it’s sweet, sometimes funny, sometimes just weird.“Letter to a Stranger” is a collection of vignettes by writers who all share one thing in common: an experience with a stranger that they just can't shake.The book’s introduction starts by explaining, "All writers have a peculiar devotion to strangers.” Colleen Kinder’s curated collection displays that devotion — a special kind of extroverted, artistic pull that makes even the introvert capable of fooling someone into thinking they are the most people-y of people persons.This artistic nature is evident in the latent poetry in each letter’s prose, refreshingly unique in voice from one to the next but all sharing a lyrical quality.Though it reads like the series of letters the title promises, “Letter to a Stranger” is akin to a travel book.
