Joyce Carol Oates has collected a group of works that are both intimate and important, essays that move from personal experience to larger significance without severing the connection between speaker and audience.\u003cbr\u003e From Ernest Hemingway covering bullfights in Pamplona to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s \"Letter from Birmingham Jail,\" these essays fit, in the words of Joyce Carol Oates, \"into a kind of mobile mosaic suggest[ing] where we've come from, and who we are, and where we are going.\" Among those whose work is included are Mark Twain, John Muir, T. S. Eliot, Richard Wright, Vladimir Nabokov, James Baldwin, Tom Wolfe, Susan Sontag, Maya Angelou, Alice Walker, Joan Didion, Cynthia Ozick, Saul Bellow, Stephen Jay Gould, Edward Hoagland, and Annie Dillard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 624\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 9 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 10, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698924024115,"sku":"9780618155873","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Z0hqbHF3WFpWZzVtZEhZZHlNRC9EZz09.webp?v=1763189988","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-best-american-essays-of-the-century-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
