'A Few Famous Writers Offer Answers.'
Review by John Kaag of Now Comes Good Sailing: Writers Reflect on Henry David Thoreau, edited by Andrew Blauner, at The New York Times.
"Anthologies are rarely remarkable. It is extremely unusual for any number of iconic writers (much less 27 of them) to team up in defense of their literary hero, but Blauner’s table of contents reads like a 'Who's Who of Intelligent Modern Prose': Megan Marshall, Lauren Groff, Celeste Headlee, Pico Iyer, Amor Towles, Alan Lightman and Adam Gopnik, among 20 others."
See Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience, and A Plea for Captain John Brown, in Gateway to the Great Books (10 Vol., 1963) volume 6
