Synopsis
Anne Fadiman, who edited the AMERICAN SCHOLAR for seven years, has collected essays from that estimable publication by writers who look back on books they loved when they were young and reread many years later. Interestingly, the second experience is often far different from the first as tastes evolve and the world changes. Some of the 17 writers participating in this fascinating exercise are Sven Birkerts, Allegra Goodman, Arthur Krystal, Vivian Gornick, Michael Upchurch, Patricia Hampl, Phillip Lopate, and Luc Sante.
