Every few years, somebody on the internet will declare that the essay is dead...which is usually a sign that it’s thriving. Indeed, the essay may have as many lives as it has styles, and its endurance is testament to its creative dynamism and versatility. Join four luminaries of this endlessly malleable literary genre as they discuss the value and valence of the essay and their own storied approaches to the art of short-form non-fiction.
