"In THE NEXT AMERICAN ESSAY, John D'Agata takes a literary tour of lyric essays written by the masters of the craft. Beginning with 1975 and John McPhee's ingenious piece, 'The Search for Marvin Gardens,' D'Agata selects an example of creative nonfiction for each subsequent year. Unrestrained, elusive, explosive, and mysterious, these essays encompass and illuminate culture, myth, history, romance, and sex. Each essay is a world of its own, a world so distinctive it resists definition." [publisher copy] "A genuinely exhilarating work of literary history."--Booklist. "D'Agata's transitions alone show how alive an anthology can be. He decides what's beautiful and makes it so through expert arrangement."--Ben Marcus, The Believer. "D'Agata's idea of an essay--or lyric essay, as he comes to call these writings--conflates both art and fact, blurring the line between objectivity and subjectivity. The lyric essay, he says, has a 'kind of logic that wants to sing.' Readers, listen up, then: here is a book that makes some beautiful music."--Publishers Weekly, starred review. 475pp w/31 writers, including Sherman Alexie, Lydia Davis, Guy Davenport, Annie Dillard, Albert Goldbarth, Jamaica Kincaid, Barry Lopez, Mary Ruefle, Harry Mathews, Susan Sontag, Alexander Theroux, George W.S. Trow, David Foster Wallace. "From the living Monopoly game (in an essay by John McPhee) to a set of unattended ghostly footnotes, from the Joan Didion elegy to the Anne Carson fantasia, this book shows what the essay is and what, with any luck, it will be."--Michael Silverblatt, NPR. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/French flaps & no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
