The Eloquent Essay
I like when things unexpected align. On a recent writing retreat to Santa Fe we were provided for discussion a four essays. One by Joan Didion. Also as part of the workshop, we were taken on a day trip to Georgia O'Keefe's Ghost Ranch. I became quite interested again in creative non-fiction and essay writing. I requested "The Eloquent Essay" from the library and it fell right open to a Joan Didion essay on Georgia O'Keefe. (The Amy Tan essay, Mother Tongue, is also very good and, interestingly, a good deal of our Santa Fe curriculum was aimed at voice.
In High School we read and had to write an essay on Orwell's Shooting the Elephant. This collection opens with his other well-known essay The Hanging, filled with precisely chosen details that prick at the reader like rough wool on bare skin making us squirm.
