In the past five years PDD has published 224 essays showcasing the work of 38 different writers, and we’re always looking to expand that roster. 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 five …
… in which the author and her little sister cling to each other for their lives on the Gulf of Alaska.
… in which the author shares her gratitude for the love and devotion of her grandmother, aunt and mother.
… in which an essential worker plays Russian Roulette with a virus in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
… in which the mystery of the melted library books is carefully examined.
… in which the author rides along on a journey of acceptance.
Season six of the Saturday Essay series starts Jan. 9. Maybe some day we’ll get them to auto-play like Netflix, but for now you’ll have to return to perfectduluthday.com to read the goods.
