Description
Essayism by Brian Dillon This personal and critical exploration of the essay genre delves into its history, contemporary possibilities, and the complexities of writing about it. Dillon navigates the contradictions inherent in the essay form, from integrity to disarray, perfection to fragmentation. Through a tribute to influential essayists such as Virginia Woolf and Georges Perec, Dillon discovers a path back to his own life as a reader and writer, emerging with a new sense of adventure and melancholia lifted.
