2017, as recorded by the fine scribes on the internet's home for long-form expression. Every week, they received a title and wrote an essay to match it. Here may be found their scribblings, with all the attendant diversity of perspective and honest reflection that readers have come to expect of the Essay Club. A heck of a way to look back on one of the most pivotal years in modern American history, and to explore personal experiences you won't find anywhere else.

So put away your phone for a while, and allow the forgotten pleasure of just reading to overtake you, guided by the unique writers represented herein. It's way more rewarding than following the Angry Creamsicle on the Twitters, if we do say so ourselves.
