CHAPTER

Introduction

Selected Essays is a podcast series from The Point magazine about essays you should read but probably haven't. Each episode we'll be talking with writers about an essay that's influenced one of their own. Christian Lorenz reads George Tro's Within the Context of No Context, which took up nearly an entire issue of the New Yorker when it was published in 1980.
