This record captures a year in the life of a writer, weaving together reflections on movies, art, music, friendship, travel, and family. The essay, often seen as the most versatile and engaging literary form, sifts through the everyday and historical to reshape it creatively. It thrives on surprise, often disregarding conventional style and respectability. In 2016, Philip Lopate, a seasoned essayist, shifted his focus to blogging, a medium already saturated with content. He committed to writing a weekly blog, embracing the challenge of a faster pace that risked inconsistency. The result is a collection of forty-seven essays, forming a cohesive piece that showcases the essay's expansive nature. Lopate's explorations include family dynamics, reflections on James Baldwin, a trip to China, insights on Agnes Martin and Abbas Kiarostami, commentary on the rise of Donald Trump, and the complexities of life and death. The outcome is a self-portrait, a reflection of contemporary society, and a fresh interpretation of the essay's potential.
