Summary
“Beautiful。 The human condition is on full display in these glimpses of our essential connectedness。 Perfect for our times。”
—Dani Shapiro， author of Inheritance
Sixty-five extraordinary writers grapple with this mystery: How can an ephemeral encounter with a stranger leave such an eternal mark？
When Colleen Kinder put out a call for authors to write a letter to a stranger about an unforgettable encounter， she opened the floodgates。 The responses—intimate and addictive， all written in the second person—began pouring in。 These short， insightful essays by a remarkable cast of writers， including Elizabeth Kolbert， Pico Iyer， Lauren Groff， Gregory Pardlo， Faith Adiele， Maggie Shipstead， Lia Purpura， Kiki Petrosino， and Jamil Jan Kochai， are organized around such themes as Gratitude， Wonder， and Farewell and guide us both across the globe and through the mysteries of human connection。 Addressed to a first responder after a storm， a gambler encountered on jury duty， a waiter in Istanbul， a taxi driver in Paris， a roomful of travelers watching reality TV in La Paz， and dozens of others， the pieces are replete with observations about how to live and what we seek， and how a stranger’s loaded glance， shared smile， or question posed can alter the course of our lives。
Moving and unforgettable， Letter to a Stranger is an irresistible read for the literary traveler and the perfect gift for anyone who is haunted by a person they met once and will remember forever。

What if you received a letter from a stranger you encountered during your lifetime that expressed how you impacted their life？ This would be such an awesome experience to have！ As we go through our daily lives and meet so many different people， we never know how simply a "hello" can brighten someone's day！ In this book， Letter to a Stranger， 65 writers are tasked with this question， How can an ephemeral encounter with a stranger leave such an eternal mark？This is such a unique concept of short s What if you received a letter from a stranger you encountered during your lifetime that expressed how you impacted their life？ This would be such an awesome experience to have！ As we go through our daily lives and meet so many different people， we never know how simply a "hello" can brighten someone's day！ In this book， Letter to a Stranger， 65 writers are tasked with this question， How can an ephemeral encounter with a stranger leave such an eternal mark？This is such a unique concept of short stories！ The book is broken up into 5 themes: Symmetry， Mystery， Wonder， Remorse， & Farewell。The letters that stood out to me the most was in the Farewell section: To the Protagonist of a Too-Short Story by Carlynn Houghton。 This one definitely hit home for me because I too had a similar experience。 💔 I also really liked the letter in the Remorse section: To the Logari Who Asked About the Sun by Jamil Jan Kochai。 This was a touching story of how we look at the world and beyond。The one letter that made me laugh was in the Wonder section: To the Traveler Who Hid Cash in Her Underwear by Ted Conover。 Just based on the title alone this was definitely an amusing letter that made you wonder why especially when you find out the money got lost in the toilet at customs lol 。。。more

Book Review: To A Stranger: Essays To The Ones That Haunt Us edited by Colleen KinderWhen Walt Whitman wrote the poem To A Stranger over 160 years ago he examined the connection between people who are previously unknown to each other。 This collection of essays takes it one step further and asks sixty-five writers to create a letter to a stranger from their past。 Each essay is unique and authentic and leaves the reader wondering， “who are the strangers that shaped me and what would I say to that Book Review: To A Stranger: Essays To The Ones That Haunt Us edited by Colleen KinderWhen Walt Whitman wrote the poem To A Stranger over 160 years ago he examined the connection between people who are previously unknown to each other。 This collection of essays takes it one step further and asks sixty-five writers to create a letter to a stranger from their past。 Each essay is unique and authentic and leaves the reader wondering， “who are the strangers that shaped me and what would I say to that person now？” From brief everyday encounters to longer intense interactions these essays cover everything including love， loss， collisions and dodged bullets。 Where strangers were mostly kind， sometimes wise， often taken for granted and only with time was the author able to see the impact on their own life。 With locations from all over the world you will definitely walk away from this book with some travel envy and I picked up some extra knowledge about people and places I was woefully ignorant on。 I highly recommend To A Stranger to memoir， essay and non-fiction fans that like reading about real people reflecting on their lives。4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 。。。more

I adore this collection of snapshot memoirs by dozens of travel writers。 Each essay is a letter never sent to a stranger who inspired the author。 The collection chronicles various missed connections， rude encounters， confusing interactions， inspirational moments。 Many letters ask forgiveness for being rude， oblivious， uncaring， arrogant， or unkind。 A pulse of common humanity resonates throughout。This book invited me back to earlier days backpacking in remote places where the kindness of stranger I adore this collection of snapshot memoirs by dozens of travel writers。 Each essay is a letter never sent to a stranger who inspired the author。 The collection chronicles various missed connections， rude encounters， confusing interactions， inspirational moments。 Many letters ask forgiveness for being rude， oblivious， uncaring， arrogant， or unkind。 A pulse of common humanity resonates throughout。This book invited me back to earlier days backpacking in remote places where the kindness of strangers built ephemeral and beautiful friendships。 I wonder， where are they now？ Reading these mini-essays in an era of "not traveling due to the pandemic" inspires me to reconnect with people past， and more importantly， be mindful of daily encounters with strangers。This book will make a fine gift and a conversation starter in classrooms and book groups。 Highly recommended！ Thank you to Algonquin Books and NetGalley for an ARC。 。。。more

Happy Pub Week！ While reading this book， I kept asking myself， is there a stranger I’ve met in my life that’s stuck with me so much I’d write them a letter。 For me， the answer is no， but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen。 Some of the letters in this book were really meaningful and powerfully written。 I liked how the book was written in sections titled symmetry， chemistry， mystery， gratitude， wonder， remorse， and farewell。 It was interesting to see who these authors wrote to and why。 For me， I fo Happy Pub Week！ While reading this book， I kept asking myself， is there a stranger I’ve met in my life that’s stuck with me so much I’d write them a letter。 For me， the answer is no， but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen。 Some of the letters in this book were really meaningful and powerfully written。 I liked how the book was written in sections titled symmetry， chemistry， mystery， gratitude， wonder， remorse， and farewell。 It was interesting to see who these authors wrote to and why。 For me， I found it easier to read a few letters a day rather than all of them at once。 Epistolary novels can be a struggle for me so this was the best way for me to be able to focus on each letter。 Thank you to Algonquin Books for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

Enjoyed listening to these， though I admittedly didn't listen to every one。 I've come to realize that essay books best keep my interest when they're very short。 But， this did make me think about the strangers that haunt me。 Enjoyed listening to these， though I admittedly didn't listen to every one。 I've come to realize that essay books best keep my interest when they're very short。 But， this did make me think about the strangers that haunt me。 。。。more

Inspiring and reflective。 The kind of book you can pick up and put down as you move from letter to letter， but thoughtfully organized into a cohesive whole。

I have always found unsent letters fascinating， and have written quite a few in my life。 These snapshots into the writer’s world exemplify the intimate impact strangers unknowingly have on us all。 We all have had random encounters that make us think twice， question ourselves， or connect to something deep within。 LETTER TO A STRANGER embraces the rawness of the human soul and the reflective introspection into the subtle effects of the world on us。

I picked this one up because one of my favorite authors， Pam Houston， had contributed and I wanted to read her Letter to a Stranger。 Houston's essay pulled me in and I never looked back。 This collection speaks to me on many different levels but probably the most intriguing part of it is the fact that， as pointed out in the forward and introduction， most of us could write a letter to someone that we never really knew but who had a lasting impact on our lives just as the writers in this book have I picked this one up because one of my favorite authors， Pam Houston， had contributed and I wanted to read her Letter to a Stranger。 Houston's essay pulled me in and I never looked back。 This collection speaks to me on many different levels but probably the most intriguing part of it is the fact that， as pointed out in the forward and introduction， most of us could write a letter to someone that we never really knew but who had a lasting impact on our lives just as the writers in this book have done。 I will revisit this one。 。。。more

I love the concept of this collection of letters， which I treated as a short stories， reading them a few at a time over a period of days。 Each author has had a moment with a stranger while traveling and clearly thought about it afterward。 I wonder if writing the letters cleared their minds but I doubt it。 I liked the capsule looks at cities and their residents。 Often the writer tells the reader more about themself than about the stranger。 Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC。 Who would you write abou I love the concept of this collection of letters， which I treated as a short stories， reading them a few at a time over a period of days。 Each author has had a moment with a stranger while traveling and clearly thought about it afterward。 I wonder if writing the letters cleared their minds but I doubt it。 I liked the capsule looks at cities and their residents。 Often the writer tells the reader more about themself than about the stranger。 Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC。 Who would you write about？ 。。。more

A diverse collection of short essays that really illustrate how even the briefest encounters can leave lasting impacts。 The stories were well-written and ranged from the mundane the unbelievable。 My favorites are the ones that are just a snapshot in the life of the person telling the tale -- the one about baby's first brain-freeze， or the Italian tour guide， or the ones about chance encounters on buses。 The audiobook has great narration that switches between multiple narrators， making it easier A diverse collection of short essays that really illustrate how even the briefest encounters can leave lasting impacts。 The stories were well-written and ranged from the mundane the unbelievable。 My favorites are the ones that are just a snapshot in the life of the person telling the tale -- the one about baby's first brain-freeze， or the Italian tour guide， or the ones about chance encounters on buses。 The audiobook has great narration that switches between multiple narrators， making it easier to distinguish and remember the stories， as well as making it easier to follow along。 Highly Recommended for anyone interested in the sublime in the mundane。**Thank you to Libro。fm and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review** 。。。more

There is the commonly held notion that people come into our lives for a reason。 Maybe it is for a season， maybe for a reason as the saying goes。 In Colleen Kinder’s book LETTER TO A STRANGER， she presents sixty-five essays from writers and others， who talk about a very brief encounter with a total stranger。 They never found out their name in most cases， and as well， they never made contact with them again。 But the fact remained， they left an indelible imprint within their psyche， like a song in There is the commonly held notion that people come into our lives for a reason。 Maybe it is for a season， maybe for a reason as the saying goes。 In Colleen Kinder’s book LETTER TO A STRANGER， she presents sixty-five essays from writers and others， who talk about a very brief encounter with a total stranger。 They never found out their name in most cases， and as well， they never made contact with them again。 But the fact remained， they left an indelible imprint within their psyche， like a song in your head that you cannot stop listening to。 Colleen Kinder put out the call to fellow writers， to present their reflections and recollections of a chance encounter with a stranger。 She could never have anticipated such a response from people， and because of the outpouring of emotion and reminiscences， it evolved into a most interesting book。 The book is divided into seven sections， but the common theme throughout all of them is the notion that people do have some sort of impact on other’s lives， even if just for a brief moment。 It hearkens back for me to It’s A Wonderful Life， when George Bailey wished he has never been born。 And in finding out how life was because of this， and the impact he had on so many lives， he wished to go on living。 In this book， there are very interesting stories， slices of life that taken in the context of the book， speak volumes。 People affected others lives， even if they were not aware of this at the time。 One woman talks about feeling threatened one night by a car following her。 She went to a stranger and asked if she could walk with her。 The stranger even made sure she got into a taxi， telling the driver， “This is my daughter。 You get her home safe。” Another story talks of a young man Mario， who helped the writer's elderly mother with yard work and things around the house。 She never met this man， but knew how important she was to her mother。 Not all stories are emotion-packed， some you might even gloss over， but the majority of them do have a moral， an interesting story as to why this stranger， meant so much。 The stories come from all over the world， pretty well every corner， but the theme is the same， no matter where you encounter a stranger， that person may remain in your heart and head forever。 。。。more

This is a lovely collection of essays about the strangers we meet in life， and their effects on us。 It's a great premise for a book。 Naturally， I enjoyed some of the essays more than others; some of them didn't quite land for me， but most were very good。 This is one essay in particular that was so powerful， so gut-wrenching， that it knocked the wind out of me and I had to take a brief break from reading the book。 Overall， I enjoyed the book and recommend it。 Note: I received an early review copy This is a lovely collection of essays about the strangers we meet in life， and their effects on us。 It's a great premise for a book。 Naturally， I enjoyed some of the essays more than others; some of them didn't quite land for me， but most were very good。 This is one essay in particular that was so powerful， so gut-wrenching， that it knocked the wind out of me and I had to take a brief break from reading the book。 Overall， I enjoyed the book and recommend it。 Note: I received an early review copy of this book from the publisher。 。。。more

Really loved the concept of this collection。 Some were absolute stunners， and some were definite duds。 The subsectioning of the letters into related themes did wonders for the book's organization， but it led to some repetitiveness。 This was likely intensified for me because I would devour large chunks at a time。 I believe the collection would be better served to be taken in slowly， mulling over each letter and really trying to put yourself into the experience the author is describing。 That is go Really loved the concept of this collection。 Some were absolute stunners， and some were definite duds。 The subsectioning of the letters into related themes did wonders for the book's organization， but it led to some repetitiveness。 This was likely intensified for me because I would devour large chunks at a time。 I believe the collection would be better served to be taken in slowly， mulling over each letter and really trying to put yourself into the experience the author is describing。 That is going to be the best way to consume each letter to its fullest potential: slowly and with purpose。However。 I did not do that， so I recognize my experience with this book may not have been at the peak of what it could have been。 That's on me， not the authors or the editor。 My one point of criticism that I do believe stands regardless of the manner in which you approach the book is the levels of pretention that some of these letters strain to achieve。 My favorite entries were the ones that didn't try to mystify a basic interaction with another human， didn't rebrand these individuals as saviors or some sign from above。 The author simply saw them as a human being in the rawest sense， stripped of societal expectations or shadows of past interactions， and were able to see something about their own humanity through their interaction。 Such letters shone brightly every。 single。 time。 in contrast to the letters that waxed far-too-poetic for my taste。Definitely worth trying it out as a bedside book that you grab to read a few letters to wind down at the end of the night， or start a slow Sunday。 。。。more

Well this was a delightful read that touched on a topic that I've always found fascinating。 How someone can come into your life for a moment and never remember you， but you never forget them？For those just wanting a quick summation of what this book is about here you go: Go look up Drew Dudley's Ted Talk "Everyday Leadership"。 This is that talk in book form and with many more examples。 I loved all the essays in this book especially one about a man driving on an unfamiliar highway in North Caroli Well this was a delightful read that touched on a topic that I've always found fascinating。 How someone can come into your life for a moment and never remember you， but you never forget them？For those just wanting a quick summation of what this book is about here you go: Go look up Drew Dudley's Ted Talk "Everyday Leadership"。 This is that talk in book form and with many more examples。 I loved all the essays in this book especially one about a man driving on an unfamiliar highway in North Carolina。 Each one of these essays perfectly captures the short， finite moments we can have with strangers。 Such as a teacher randomly asking a strange man to kiss her in the sunrise above Paris。 The private little moments that each one of us have experienced and can never describe to anyone else how much that single moment effected us。 This is a great book for anyone looking for a light read before bed。 It has plenty of stopping points seeing as it is a collection of essays， but it'll still have you come back night after night without keeping you awake until the morning light。I received this book for free from Goodreads and that in no way affected my opinion。 。。。more

I think many of us have stories about people we met， perhaps very briefly， who have made an impact on our lives。 It might have been positive or it might have been negative， but it was significant。 I know I have experienced such a moment， which is why I was so very happy to have won this book on Goodreads。 The book explores many emotions and many opportunities， but each letter is a story in itself。 I enjoyed it very much。

This is a wonderful collection of letters written to people with whom the authors had chance encounters or special brief connections。 I especially like the one written by the poet Kiki Petrosino about the time after her graduation when she lived with her grandmother。

It's a simple conceit: write a letter to someone with whom you've had an unforgettable encounter。 Kinder （how could one not love that name？） put the call out to the writing community and got dozens of submissions in response。 All short （approx。 5 pages）， many poetic and moving， a handful by favorite authors （Laura Groff， Leslie James， et。 al。）， such variety that I parceled them out at two per day so I could reflect on each。 Several I know I will return to， but together they inspire me to wish to It's a simple conceit: write a letter to someone with whom you've had an unforgettable encounter。 Kinder （how could one not love that name？） put the call out to the writing community and got dozens of submissions in response。 All short （approx。 5 pages）， many poetic and moving， a handful by favorite authors （Laura Groff， Leslie James， et。 al。）， such variety that I parceled them out at two per day so I could reflect on each。 Several I know I will return to， but together they inspire me to wish to write similar letters: To the stranger who gave me her password。 To the cop who gave me more than a ticket。 To the man who never owned a television。 It's a great writing prompt。 And a book that might appeal to those who enjoy the Chicken Soup books of yore。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this title。 As with most essay collections， this one was a mix of fantastic essays and essays I had to skim through or completely skip。 I love the concept， but found that many of the stories were more about their authors than the strangers they met。 Some of the essays were a bit uncomfortable， tales of privileged white people in foreign countries， but many of them were wonderful。 I particularly loved Michelle Tea's piece。 Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this title。 As with most essay collections， this one was a mix of fantastic essays and essays I had to skim through or completely skip。 I love the concept， but found that many of the stories were more about their authors than the strangers they met。 Some of the essays were a bit uncomfortable， tales of privileged white people in foreign countries， but many of them were wonderful。 I particularly loved Michelle Tea's piece。 。。。more
