I think my favorite essay is the title essay, originally published under the title "Shipping Out." His observations on any subject tend to be razor-sharp and so-funny-it-hurts... but in light of his own suicide three years ago, there's something particularly eerie about rereading an essay in which he links observations of cruise travel and dream vacations to despair and death and suicide.
