A fascinating collection of essays that carries forward the omnidirectional momentum of the master. After Montaigne gives us grand examples of the essay as it lives today. Ian Frazier, author of Great Plains Imagine the dinner party: not just Montaigne but many Montaignes resurrected in these brilliant essays by twenty-eight of today s most inventive writers. The table is crowded, enlivened by the paradoxical warmth of Montaigne s detachment and by the parry and thrust of ideas, often tantamount to a kind of quiet eros. It s a dinner full of random appetites, the kind of party we leave knowing ourselves a little less, which might mean a little better. What a feast this collection is. It satisfies a hunger intellect meeting empathy that enlarges us.
