"In the world of magazines, no recognition is more highly coveted than an "Ellie," the National Magazine Award presented by the American Society of Magazine Editors to the best of the American magazine"
I'm an English professor (Georgetown), and this book is superb for teaching nonfiction writing. Students love the first article, about Nick Nolte as a mad scientist with an unlimited credit card. Subsequent pieces are similarly strong.
Terrific Book !!

Book contains brilliant writing published in top magazines like New Yorker, etc. If there is one book you want to read, this should be top of your list. I loved Preston's article on smallpox and short stories by Jhumpa Lahiri, etc.
