Before digging into the 2017 countdown, here’s a brief paragraph to spell out for the uninitiated how the “Saturday Essay” feature works:
PDD publishes an essay every Saturday. Yours truly, Paul Lundgren, is the editor. A small group of writers are featured somewhat regularly, but anyone is welcome and encouraged to submit a piece for consideration. Shoot an email to paul @ perfectduluthday.com to inquire.
And now, the champions of Duluth literature …
… in which the author does the math on harassment, abuse and assault.
… in which Koko Taylor shares the spotlight with an unsuspecting family.
… in which the author briefly loses control of her surroundings, takes a shot of whiskey and gets back in the game.
… in which a DOS kernel is corrupted, among other things.
… in which a box sits on a shelf as a symbol of ethics in journalism.
Obviously the bright red text on the titles above indicates those are links to the stories. So read or reread and enjoy. Next week we’ll showcase a few of the lesser-read gems from the past year before launching the 2018 season.
