Industry Reviews
"Phillip Lopate is one of the best essayists and critics of the personal essay in America....We can see his standards here, and learn from them."
Rosellen Brown

"In the range of selections as well as in cultural and historical perspective, this is a ground-breaking volume. From now on it will be the Bible for the personal essay."
Max Apple

"Most 800-page books take on an air of monumentality, but this collection of personal essays--a mixture of the fimiliar and the unexpected--manages to stay inviting, nonchalant and entertaining."
Brown
