Inventing the persona of \"Elia\" allowed Lamb to be shockingly honest and to gain a playful distance for self-examination. The resulting essays touch upon a wide range of compelling subjects from the deliciously humorous \"Dissertation upon Roast Pig\" to the poignantly reflective \"New Year's Eve.\" Yet collectively they also comprise a fascinating personal memoir, veiled under the pseudonymous disguise of Elia. Now back in print with a new foreword by the distinguished personal essayist Phillip Lopate and with useful annotations, \u003ci\u003eEssays of Elia\u003c\/i\u003e will provide a delicious stylistic treat for all readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Iowa Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46897244897431,"sku":"9780877458517","price":2815.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780877458517.webp?v=1770361885","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/essays-of-elia-9780877458517","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
