In this anthology of 20th-century essays, some of the most admired American and British writers express their lively, candid, entertaining, thoughtful, and--above all--varied opinions. Covering the profound and the buoyant, the traditional and the new, the expected and the surprising are Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Oliver Sacks, M.F.K. Fisher, E.B. White, Truman Capote, and many others.
