His witty takes and sharp observations feel like a natural extension of his comedic style. I'm curious if he saw essays as a way to explore ideas more freely than fiction.

His knack for timing and visual imagery in these essays made me think about how his cinematic sensibility translates to prose. Do others see that influence too?
