Son of Laughter, Buechner’s account of the story of Jacob, is my favorite. It’s gritty, as the Hollywood execs say.
Douglas Coupland is, of all the presenters, my favorite. His book Life After God is, to me, the most beautiful, honest, fictionalized mind-memoir of my (29) generation.
And don’t forget Thomas Lynch, poet and undertaker, whose collection of essays The Undertaking: Life Studies From The Dismal Trade is one of my three favorite essay collections from the past 5 years.
