A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

--"A wide variety of quality writing, both reflective and reported." -- Kirkus Reviews
--"This collection is satisfying in its unexpected diversity and tasty juxtapositions . . . Every reader will come away delighted and enlightened." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
--"While this collection is led, as usual, by standout pieces from the New Yorker and Harper’s...it culls some brilliant offerings from smaller magazines and literary journals, providing a modest cross-section of the essay-writing talent in the independent press."--UNTE online--"With characteristic humor and self-abasement, guest editor Wallace is an excellent guide to this year’s goodie bag . . . Reliable and yet still surprising—the best of the best." -- Kirkus Reviews--"A kick-ass anthology." -- Booklist--"Always a welcome edition for those who enjoy the charms of nonfiction intellectual journeys." --Kansas City Star
