Delving into obsessions and experiences, Freeze's essays display a keen intelligence with insights on topics as diverse as Mormonism and foosball, Angry Birds and professional wrestling, superheroes and freebirthing, Ernest Hemingway and Star Trek. \"Carnecopia\" mashes experiences fishing and snorkeling with an exhibit at Monaco's oceanographic museum to comment on how human beings unwittingly enact harm on their environment. \"Bolt\" explores the author's fascination with sprinting and shares moments in France and the Midwest, where the words \"to bolt\" sometimes have unforeseen consequences. \"Supergirl\" plays on the childhood fascination with superheroes juxtaposed with adulthood manifestations of gendered expectations. By turns playful, poignant, celebratory, and searching, Hemingway on a Bike meanders through ruminations on a number of subjects, and these reflections combine to dissect identity, belonging, and migration in an age when borders and boundaries, whatever the type, are continually transgressed and traversed. Eric Freeze is an associate professor of English at Wabash College. He is the author of Dominant Traits: Stories and has published essays, stories, and translations in a variety of periodicals including Boston Review, Harvard Review, and the Southern Review.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Freeze is an associate professor of English at Wabash College.
