  <description><![CDATA[This year's Best American Essays is edited by the best-selling, award-winning writer Kathleen Norris, whose books include Dakota andThe Virgin of Bennington. &quot;The writers in this volume invite us into hidden places: a surgical pathologist's laboratory, the boxing gym where a college professor and his student learn unexpected lessons about discipline, pain, and growing to adulthood. There are many discoveries to be made here, and I gladly invite the reader to an uncommonly rich and rewarding book.&quot; — Kathleen Norris]]></description>

    <![CDATA[This year's Best American Essays is edited by the best-selling, award-winning writer Kathleen Norris, whose books include Dakota andThe Virgin of Bennington. &quot;The writers in this volume invite us into hidden places: a surgical pathologist's laboratory, the boxing gym where a college professor and his student learn unexpected lessons about discipline, pain, and growing to adulthood. There are many discoveries to be made here, and I gladly invite the reader to an uncommonly rich and rewarding book.&quot; — Kathleen Norris]]>
