Mince Pie

Description

A large collection of no less than 60 essays by Christopher Morley, Mince Pie is definitely not the most common type of book. It will take you on various tangents talking about anything from Christmas to criticism and exploring even deeper concepts like truth or inflexible ideologies.

Morley’s writing style is typically humorous, carrying his own distinctive and quite entertaining stance throughout the essays. As an accomplished author, journalist, essayist, novelist and poet, Morley is not at all inexperienced when putting his ideas on paper. The American author had a nearly 40-year long career spanning between the early 1900s and the late ’40s, and his many literary connections assisted him in growing and becoming one of the most eloquent, witty and enjoyable writers and lecturers among his peers.

The author’s humor is combined with a highly intuitive psychological and philosophical approach to crafting his essays. To many Morley may seem like he is just throwing ideas around and speaking about everything and nothing in particular. However, his ability to bring a fresh new perspective to even the dullest and most uninteresting of topics is equated to something of a superpower by certain critics.

The Mince Pie essay collection manages to turn simple and trivial concepts such as answering a letter into the most fascinating of topics under the sky. Due to Morley’s ability to captivate his readers through bold, straightforward speech and subtle elements of humor, each of the essays becomes unique in and of itself, while the concepts presented have a surprisingly strong impact on the reader.
