The best of Essay Daily—each a writer in conversation with and about an essay, whatever its variety, contemporary and classic.

---

"e;To read the collected essays here is to feel invited to a salon."e; -Signature How We Speak to One Another is some of the most engaging evidence we've got that the essay is going strong. Here, essayists talk back to each other, to the work they love and the work that disquiets them, and to the very basic building blocks of what we understand "e;essay"e; to be. What's compiled in these pages testifies to the endless flexibility, generosity, curiosity, and audacity of essays. Even more than that, it provides the kind of pleasure any great essay collection does-upsetting our ideas and challenging the way we organize our sense of the world. Edited by a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist and a former managing editor of Essay Daily, this collection "e;clearly demonstrates the essay is alive and well, kicking and evolving, grappling with its place in literature"e; (Kirkus Reviews). "e;A fun read, even for nonwriters."e;-Publishers Weekly Contributors include: Ander Monson, Marcia Aldrich, Kristen Radtke, Robin Hemley, Robert Atwan, Matt Dube, Aisha Sabatini Sloan, T.
