Against Joie de Vivre: Personal Essays
Phillip Lopate
By turns humorous, learned, celebratory, and elegiac, the author displays a keen intelligence and a flair for language that turn bits of common, everyday life into resonant narrative. He maintains a conversational charm while taking the contemporary personal essay to a new level of complexity and candour.
