The Best American Essays 2013 by Robert Atwan, Cheryl Strayed

3.0

A decent collection of work. I read it with my writing class and many of us wondered at the number of pieces that came from Portland-area writers. Perhaps Strayed's influence? Some of them were quite good, but others seemed surprising choices for the best essays in the country over an entire year. Did others agree?
