Snow<br /> <br /> One by Rasmusen, as a tax<br /> <br /> Have a bio prologue, and an anlysis afterword to each one, one page each. Use Chronological order. Each essay must be entertaining *and* informative. <br /> <br /> Hazlitt, Vidal, Theodore Dalrymple, are possible. <br /> <br /> <br /> An upvote. I reviewed his last big book of essays. They seemed half frivolous, half crazy (eg Howard Hunt killed JFK and shot George Wallace). The only good one was on Montaigne.<br /> Quote Tweet<br /> Jack Mitchell<br /> @JackGMitchell<br /> ·<br /> 7h<br /> Replying to @PincherMartin8 @hulsey_ryan and @RBrookhiser<br /> What writer in English has essays as fun to read as Vidal has? Not Hazlitt even. Only one I enjoy as much is Dr. Johnson, likewise because the prose is perfect.<br /> <br /> At t he start, have a table of conents, then a reprise table of contents with a paragraph from each essay.<br /> <br /> At the end of each essay have a couple of paragraphs in different style from it to analyze. For how to write.</div>
