"Zinsser -- who, with On Writing Well, taught a whole lot of us how to set down a clean English sentence -- last year won a National Magazine Award for his Friday web columns in The American Scholar. They're now in a collection that's completely charming, impeccably polished, and Strunk-and-White-ishly brief. He is the youngest 90-year-old you will read this week." -- New York Magazine on "The Writer Who Stayed"
