"I feel like essay collections don't get enough credit. They're so wonderful! They're like short story collections, but TRUE. It's like going to a truth buffet. You can get information about sooooo many topics, sometimes in one single book! To prove that there are a zillion amazing essay collections out there, I compiled 50 great contemporary essay collections, just from the last 18 months alone. Ranging in topics from food, nature, politics, sex, celebrity, and more, there is something here for everyone!
I've included a brief description from the publisher with each title. Tell us in the comments about which of these you've read or other contemporary essay collections that you love. There are a LOT of them. Yay, books!"
