The Best American Essays 2016A true essay is "something hazarded, not definitive, not authoritative; something ventured on the basis of the author's personal experience and subjectivity," writes guest editor Jonathan Franzen in his introduction.

A true essay is "something hazarded, not definitive, not authoritative; something ventured on the basis of the author's personal experience and subjectivity," writes guest editor Jonathan Franzen in his introduction. However, his main criterion for selecting The Best American Essays 2016 was, in a word, risk. Whether the risks involved championing an unpopular opinion, the possibility of ruining a professional career, or irrevocably offending family, for Franzen, "the writer has to be like the firefighter, whose job, while everyone else is fleeing the flames, is to run straight into them." The Best American Essays 2016 includes ALEXANDER CHEE, PAUL CRENSHAW, JAQUIRA D AZ, LAURA KIPNIS, AMITAVA KUMAR, SEBASTIAN JUNGER,JOYCE CAROL OATES, OLIVER SACKS, THOMAS CHATTERTON WILLIAMS and others JONATHAN FRANZEN, guest editor, is the author of five novels, most recently Purity, and five works of nonfiction and translation, including Farther Away and The Kraus Project. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the German Akademie der K nste, and the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

Absolute perfection these are now my daily cup instead of coffee shops now
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
I finally picked up the Nespresso Vertuo Barista Flavored Pack, and I have to say, these are the perfect coffee flavors. They arrived in the original Nespresso boxes, (I’ve been duped before) which ensures freshness and quality right out of the gate.
The pack includes three fantastic varieties: Sweet Vanilla, Golden Caramel, and Roasted Hazelnut. Each one brews a smooth 7.8oz cup with that signature, velvety crema on top. The Sweet Vanilla is subtle and it adds a gentle sweetness without being artificial or overpowering . The Golden Caramel is rich with those lovely biscuity flavors, making it feel like a treat every morning . The Roasted Hazelnut is probably my favorite; the nutty flavor is perfect with a little milk and honey, and it smells incredible while brewing .
I love that they are a medium roast, so they have enough body to stand up to a splash of milk or cream, but they are also smooth enough to drink black. Knowing the capsules are fully recyclable is a nice bonus, too . If you are looking to elevate your coffee routine without leaving the house, this variety pack is a must try. Highly recommended I’ve bought it a few time already and it beats spending $8 on a mediocre coffee at a coffee shop where the barista hates making coffee for people who love coffee.

So delicious and full of flavor. Love the variety pack
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
I love the variety! They all taste delicious and I love that they are color coded and easy to distinguish what is what. You definitely only need one or two cups. Very good coffee. I used to drink a pot of coffee. With these it is 2 cups. Plenty of caffeine for an energetic day. Will buy more
