"kudos to the editor - these miscellaneous, unrelated essays are sequenced like a mix tape: a common name or theme popping up in the next, imposing an artificial but pleasing sense of order and commonality..."
"My least favorite of the series so far. Slater chose some I wouldn't even consider essays, and she chose an unusual number dealing with illness and death. However, there were a few gems in the mix, including Marjorie Williams "A Matter of Life and Death," and Adam Gopnik's "Death of a Fish" (see what I mean about theme?)"
