Powell's Original Essays


Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon (honestly the best bookstore in the country) has a great website. I just stumbled upon their Original Essays Series where great writers write great little essays about writing, etc. Ann Patchett, author of the amazing Bel Canto has an essay about setting in her novels. Richard Russo, who wrote the tremendous Empire Falls, has an essay entitled "Redefining Laziness." There's essays by Maryanne Wolf, Brock Clarke, and more. So get a hot cup of coffee my friends, have a seat, and read some great little bits on a great site.
