This collection of essays previously published in Vanity Fair highlights the breadth and depth of the magazine's commitment to the literary life. The gimmick is simple but effective: assign one writer to examine the life or work of another and read what happens. The essays are a glorious, eclectic mix of styles, lengths, and vantage points, so every reader will find something to enjoy. This is a collection to be dipped into and savored.

Zelma I used to love Vanity Fair and had a subscription for awhile. It started to feel a bit too Hollywood celebrity focused after awhile I let the subscription lapse. But the journalism is definitely top notch. 8y
