It is Brian Doyle, and so it is perfect. That's all. I could put endless quotes from these essays here, but I won't, so you'll just have to read it!

This is a collection of Doyle's work that was put together after his tragically early death - so if you've read a bunch of his essays, be aware these are also in previous collections of his. It's lovely to have this "best of" all in one place though.
