"As stimulating a discussion of the personal essay as I have ever encountered.With the accumulated wisdom of a lifetime of practicing and teaching the form, Klaus thoughtfully probes and generously upends his own and everyone else's pieties. We are deeply in his debt."--Phillip Lopate
"This book is a cabinet of finely balanced wonders: treatise and revelation, study and confession, provocation and lyric--but most of all, it's a love letter to the essay form. Carl Klaus approaches his subject, the complicated construction of a self on the page, with the curiosity, intellect, and innocence of an artist in love with and awed by his materials. As he reflects on essayists past and present as well as on his own prose, Klaus's insights grow ever more intimate. His is a sensibility engaged in the deepest, lifelong work an essayist can perform: the creation, nurturing, and refining of that ever-elusive yet companionable made-up self."--Lia Purpura, author, "On Looking"
"Quite simply, Carl Klaus's magnum opus: the book he has spent his entire writing life building toward: a persuasive and even moving summing up of everything he knows about the essay, especially the protean, inherently problematizing, stylized nature of the form. An extremely valuable correction to any misconception of 'nonfiction as 'truth.'"--David Shields, author, "Reality Hunger: A Manifesto"
