In this volume the author rescues that glorious vehicle for intellectual hilarity and compressed wisdom, the essay, from its present state of being crushed by the adjoining land masss of the article and the review. Previously camouflaged as political commentary, reviews, and columns, his writings are presented here in their pristine undisguised essay-ness.
Wilfrid Sheed is a great literary reviewer and critic. These essays are light and funny.
