Here\u2019s a little preview of each piece.<\/p>\n<p><em>The New York Review of Books<\/em> published Hilton Als\u2019s essay \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/2009\/08\/13\/michael\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael<\/a>,\u201d his uncategorizable homage to Michael Jackson and the phenomena of his fame, in 2009, shortly after Jackson\u2019s death. Als writes, \u201cUnlike Prince, his only rival in the black pop sweepstakes, Jackson couldn\u2019t keep mining himself for material for fear of what it would require of him\u2014a turning inward, which, though arguably not the job of a pop musician, is the job of the artist.\u201d <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael\u201d is a sort of how-to on the art of the hybrid essay, neither journalism nor memoir nor psychoanalysis. In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/7178\/the-art-of-the-essay-no-3-hilton-als\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Writers at Work interview<\/a>, Als offers as clear an aesthetic manifesto as you\u2019ll find on his sense of truth in fiction and fiction in truth:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For a long time, I was so allergic to the empirical in fiction and nonfiction that I didn\u2019t know where to begin. I was allergic to novelists who were certain that what they were making was a novel, and to journalists who believed it was journalism, and I was for sure distrustful of memoirists who said, At three years old, I remember my mother didn\u2019t kiss me, or whatever. I could only describe the truth that I felt, which was that the truth was not empirical, was what I knew in all ways, was coming in from different directions, and was not the whole story.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A similar relationship between interview and essay appears in Toni Morrison\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/1888\/the-art-of-fiction-no-134-toni-morrison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Art of Fiction interview<\/a>, in which she observes how \u201cwhite writers imagine black people \u2026 some of them are brilliant at it. Faulkner was brilliant at it. Hemingway did it poorly in places and brilliantly elsewhere,\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/2001\/08\/09\/on-the-radiance-of-the-king\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 2001 <em>New York Review<\/em> essay<\/a> she wrote on Camara Laye\u2019s <em>The Radiance of the King<\/em>: \u201cFor those who made either the literal or the imaginative voyage, contact with Africa, its penetration, offered thrilling opportunities to experience life in its inchoate, formative state, the consequence of which experience was knowledge\u2014a wisdom that confirmed the benefits of European proprietorship and, more importantly, enabled a self-revelation free of the responsibility of gathering overly much actual intelligence about African cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the very first issue of <em>The New York Review of Books<\/em>, Susan Sontag writes, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/1963\/02\/01\/simone-weil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an essay on Simone Weil<\/a> that would later appear in <em>Against Interpretation<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Perhaps there are certain ages which do not need truth as much as they need a deepening of the sense of reality, a widening of the imagination. I, for one, do not doubt that the sane view of the world is the true one. But is that what is always wanted, truth? The need for truth is not constant; no more than is the need for repose. An idea which is a distortion may have a greater intellectual thrust than the truth; it may better serve the needs of the spirit, which vary. The truth is balance, but the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What might Sontag have thought about this passage many years and books later? Her 1995 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/1505\/the-art-of-fiction-no-143-susan-sontag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Writers at Work interview<\/a> might offer a clue: \u201cMaybe I\u2019m always reluctant to reread anything I wrote more than ten years ago because it would destroy my illusion of endless new beginnings.
