The Best American Essays 2005 by Robert Atwan, Susan Orlean

4.0

Hard to judge an essay collection, but overall pretty strong pieces in here. Joyas Voladoras by Brian Doyle blew me away, a short piece that packed a lot of heart that most essays find difficult to do. I also really enjoyed Sea of Information by Andrea Barrett and Mastering the Art of French Cooking by E.J. Levy. Oliver Sacks was good and Sedaris good in his light, amusing way especially in this short of a piece.

David Foster Wallace had one of his great short stories in here which of course can't be understated. They were a couple other interesting ones, but those are the ones that really stood out. I would recommend you peruse this if you are interested in essays.
