The Word Pretty by Elisa Gabbert

4.0

3.75 - I felt like some of the essays in this collection were forgettable especially since they're all short, but I really liked the references she made throughout - Berger, Didion, Flaubert, Kafka, etc. The essay on "The Art of the Paragraph" has changed how I look at and understand form in writing. This was the first thing I've read by Gabbert but I'd be interested in looking at her other work.
