A luxurious collection of essays. Immerse yourself in this "Pool" with Sherman Alexie, Alice Walker, E.B. White and Langston Hughes. Not to mention Delillo, Carver, Lincoln, Woolf, Wolfe, Dillard, Obama, Orwell, Oates, O'Connor.
I can't do it any justice here, you'll have to sit down and read a few. I've been having that experience that comes from reading critically and immersively, which is the only way to read writers like these. the art is at once familiar and welcoming all around. How refreshing to take a swim in these words during cold February.
Enough babbling praise. ;-) I rarely beg anyone to read anything, but do read these if you can get them. I'm off to hit the pool again.
