Pieces of Mind: 30 Great New Essay Collections

"Essay collections offer a unique kind of reader experience, one that can be rewarding in a different way from novels or even other types of nonfiction. Essays often provide multiple angles of attack on a certain theme, providing a kind of literary 3-D effect. Sometimes they work as little first-person short stories. And sometimes they're just funny.
Below is a curated list of 30 recently published essay collections, each offering an assortment of bite-size writing from a particular author (or, in some cases, an invited collection of authors)."
