"Coming upon [HOW TO DISAPPEAR] was like finding the Advil bottle in the medicine cabinet after stumbling about with a headache for a long time...Going unseen, undetected, overlooked: These are experiences with their own inherent 'meaning and power'; what we need is a 'field guide' for recognizing them. And this is what Busch offers, roaming from essay to essay in a loose, associative style, following invisibility where it takes her." --Gal Beckerman, The New York Times Book Review (cover review)
"Akiko Busch's How to Disappear: Notes on Invisibility in a Time of Transparency serves as a gentle reminder...[to] stop confusing what is most obvious or distracting for what is genuinely important...Ms. Busch, who has rightly been compared to Annie Dillard and Edward Abbey, has dedicated nearly 30 years to sounding this message, one that our age seems intent on ignoring..."--John Kaag, Wall Street Journal
