Essays - Jill Lepore
As a reader of essays and a lover of history, I recently discovered Jill Lepore's writing through "The Deadline" and "These Truths". Highly recommend both: the former opens with terrific essays on Mary Wollenscroft Shelley, Melville, and Rachel Carson.
Beyond that, though, is a book full of essays that does what great literature is supposed to do: reflects our society, challenges power structures, and connects us to our shared humanity.
Deeply researched and strongly crafted, her work deserves to be read by all Americans.
