I think essays are an underutilized form of communication. I think that a good essay is long enough to capture the thrust of a book in a fraction of the length, yet short enough to force the author to make one clear point, since it teases apart the veil of length many authors use to hide behind. Much of the reason I want to write well at all is because I want to perfect the art of the essay: to be able to make bold claims incisively, yet with flair.
