In the past three years PDD has published 150 essays showcasing the work of 27 different writers; we hope to expand that roster in 2019. Anyone who has an original piece of literary excellence that seems to fit (or appropriately defy) the established format should email paul @ perfectduluthday.com to get involved.
And now, links to a few select gems from season three …
… in which the author moves to Duluth, loves it, but struggles to find a job and make connections.
… in which a remote-controlled glider designed to humanely chase away geese sits down to discuss his first year on the job.
… in which experiments in rabbit breeding take place just a few blocks up from the Shanty Bottle Shop.
… in which spontaneous criticism of an expensive jacket ends up hurting everyone’s feelings.
… in which a bemulleted boy struggles and self-sabotages his way through high school and beyond.
After following the links to enjoy these essays, make sure to take a break and rest your eyes. Season four of the Saturday Essay series starts next week.
