This week marks the release of Aleksandar Hemon’s excellent
book of personal essays, The
Book of My Lives, which we loved, and which we’re convinced
deserves a place in the literary canon. To that end, we were inspired to put
together our list of the greatest essay collections of all time, from the
classic to the contemporary, from the personal to the critical. In making our
choices, we’ve steered away from posthumous omnibuses and multi-author
compilations, and given what might be undue weight to our favorite writers
(as one does). Click through to see our nominations for the 25 greatest essay
collections of all time.
