Ethrg was conceived of as an essay project with a minimum duration of one year. For each of the fifty-two weeks of the calendar year one essay of not less than 1,000 words would be produced. What follows is the body of work this project has generated to date.

Each essay is designated with a number representing its position in the series as well as the calendar week which it represents. The date of completion is recorded in standard US format. A link to a PDF of the essay follows, and for each a very brief clue as to the content is included.
