The Columbia Journalism Review's Second Read series features distinguished journalists revisiting key works of reportage. Launched in 2004 by John Palattella, who was then editor of the magazine's book section, the series also allows authors address such ongoing concerns as the conflict between narrative flair and accurate reporting, the legacy of New Journalism, the need for reporters to question their political assumptions, the limitations of participatory journalism, and the temptation to substitute "truthiness" for hard, challenging fact. Representing a wide range of views, Second Read embodies the diversity and dynamism of contemporary nonfiction while offering fresh perspectives on works by Norman Mailer, Tom Wolfe, Rachel Carson, and Gabriel Garca Mrquez, among others. It also highlights pivotal moments and movements in journalism as well as the innovations of award-winning writers.

Essays include Rick Perlstein on Paul Cowan's The Tribes of America  Nicholson Baker on Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year  Dale Maharidge on James Agee's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men  Marla Cone on Rachel Carson's Silent Spring  Ben Yagoda on Walter Bernstein's Keep Your Head Down  Ted Conover on Stanley Booth's The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones  Jack Shafer on Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test  Connie Schultz on Michael Herr's Dispatches  Michael Shapiro on Cornelius Ryan's The Longest Day  Douglas McCollam on John McPhee's Annals of the Former World  Tom Piazza on Norman Mailer's Armies of the Night  Thomas Mallon on William Manchester's The Death of a President  Miles Corwin on Gabriel Garca Mrquez's The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor  David Ulin on Joan Didion's Slouching Toward Bethleh
