I'm not entirely sure what I think about this collection. There are some truly fantastic pieces (Butler, Smith, Straight, Yakub). There are also a few that are real duds. The forward mentions experimentation in essay style; unfortunately, some of it is poor. Some pieces read like fiction, not essays---and not the best fiction, either.
