The Dark Brain of Piranesi and Other Essays by Richard Howard, Marguerite Yourcenar
4.0
Full disclosure: I only read the titular essay (as preparation for a presentation I'm giving on the work/influence of G.B. Piranesi next month) but holy shit, there is some beautiful prose in here, as well as insightful analysis. I'll certainly be pulling a few quotes from Yourcenar for my presentation!
