85 Years of Great Writing in Time is the title of this latest Time Magazine Anthology.

“The pieces in this book reveal some truths about good news writing and incisive thought here in 2008, the written word's most sadly uncertain year yet,” the AP notes. The AP reviewer also notes: “the tapestry of pieces collected here defies pigeonholing. They are eloquent and elegant, insightful and incisive, a documentation of a century like no other.”The book description states: “For 85 years, TIME magazine has set the standard in American journalism. Now, to celebrate the magazine's 85th Anniversary celebration, we have collected many of the finest writings from TIME's archives in 85 Years of Great Writing. When the world's biggest and most moving events took place--World War II, the Moon landing, the death of Princess Diana, and many more--TIME magazine was there to tell the story with passion and clarity. This 560-page book features pieces by Barbara Ehrenreich, Henry Anatole Grunwald, Maureen Dowd, Walter Isaacson, Bono and many other famous writers, and will provide readers with a uniquely entertaining view of 85 years of TIME's history. List of authors include: James Agee Walter Isaacson John McPhee Henry Grunwald Roger Rosenblatt Pico Iyer Theodore H. White Elie Wiesel Hugh Sidey Nancy Gibbs T.S. Matthews Leon Jaroff Garrison Keillor Robert Sam Anson Lance Morrow John Jersey Strobe Talbott Otto Friedrich Stephen Hawking Richard Schickel Marshall Loeb Paul O'Neil Jay Cocks Michal Kinsley Richard Corliss Stefan Kanfer Calvin Trillin.”Readers can find out more via the AP article. Time is the publisher. How appropriate.
