Others' Austria: Impressions of American and British Writers, 1814-1914, Vol. 1
It is exceedingly difficult to rate an anthology with any more than three stars, because almost inevitably there will be some essays I love and some I despise (or rather, that bore me so to death that I don't even dignify them with a complete read). And when you average out love and despise you get 2.5, and then have to rate it a 3.
Regardless, this is worth a read, as "The Best" series of all types are every year. I particularly enjoyed the essays that leaned more toward the personal and emotional (one in particular by a man IV feeding his HIV positive partner at home was wonderful), rather than the analytical and pseudo-intellectual (really, necklace making as a metaphor for life? I've never read so much about beading and cared so little...and I am a former beader!).
Recommended for those that don't have qualms cherry picking.
