The twenty-two essays in this powerful collection -- perhaps the
most diverse in the entire series -- come from a wide variety of
periodicals, ranging from n + 1 and PMS to the New Republic and The
New Yorker, and showcase a remarkable range of forms. Read on for
narrative -- in first and third person -- opinion, memoir,
argument, the essay-review, confession, reportage, even a dispatch
from Iraq. The philosopher Peter Singer makes a case for
philanthropy; the poet Molly Peacock constructs a mosaic tribute to
a little-known but remarkable eighteenth-century woman artist; the
novelist Marilynne Robinson explores what has happened to holiness
in contemporary Christianity; the essayist Richard Rodriguez
wonders if California has anything left to say to America; and the
Harvard biologist Edward O. Wilson attempts to find common ground
with the evangelical community.
