books 2015: We Don't Know We Don't Know, by Nick Lantz
Really enjoyed this. Lantz really gets a lot of mileage out of juxtaposing Donald Rumsfeld and Pliny the Elder, two humans who you'd think have nothing to do with each other. You're reading this description right now and thinking it must be a joke of a book, but there's an unexpected lot of emotional resonance here, as Lantz also, somehow, works in the narrator's mother's illness as a recurring theme. My favorite piece is probably the Notes at the end but you really have to read the whole book to get there. It's worth doing.
