Writing in 1924, the American critic Gilbert Seldes described the newspaper column as the 'most sophisticated' of the minor arts. Columnists are part of our daily lives. The best of them form a special bond with their readers, a bond that in some cases lasts for decades, and many of them are fondly remembered long after they cease writing. The Penguin Book of Columnists presents the work of great writers whose names are still familiar and revives our interest in some who have been forgotten. The reader will come away from this book having made many new and remarkable friends.
