Here are Madame de Sevigne s devastatingly sharp reports from the French court, F. Scott Fitzgerald s tormented advice to his young daughter, the casually brilliant musings of Flannery O Connor, the lustful boastings of Lord Byron, and the prison cries of Sacco and Vanzetti, all accompanied by Thomas Mallon s own insightful commentary. From battlefield confessions to suicide notes, fan letters to hate mail, Yours Everis an exuberant reintroduction to a vast and entertaining literature a book that will help to revive, in the digital age, this glorious lost art."
