Showcase of Rosenblatt's talent - good and not so good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
One of the most talented and witty writers today, Roger Rosenblatt showcases his talent in this series of short essays (one or two pages average). Some of the pieces are just collections of observations, others are the epitome of the craft of writing. Most of the essays have a deeper meaning hidden within the text that suddenly leaps out at you in the final sentences. Anything Can Happen is highly recommended and many of the essays could easily be used in the scholastic setting for how writing of this style should be done.
disciplined flights of fancy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
These are not what one might think of as typical essays; rather, they are disciplined flights of fancy, the work of a nimble and penetrating mind at play. There is humor and wonderful word play, as well as wistfulness and a deeply felt sense of humanity.
