The Norton Book of Personal Essays
Great collection from Norton, has many classic essays. Editor Epstein calls them an accidental type in that hardly anyone sets out to BE a personal essayists, or that a writer is a better essayist than insert here_____ poet, novelists, historian, journalist etc etc. So in this collection you can read mark twain , Beerbohm, betrand Russell, willa cather, Virginia woolf, Dorothy parker, Cynthia ozick, m f k fisher, amy tan, and about 80 others. Essays range from reminisces from family and childhood, to race, class, education, weasels, music, broken legs, travel, war, bars, etc etc. a must read for essay fans. In the HW Wilson Public Library Catalog. of note, many of the essays were taken from "commentary" magazine, which epstein also edits (owns?) and epstein also included one of his own essays in this book of essays, but it was a good essay, perhaps one of the best, so we'll let him slide.
