The Best American Essays 2024 - Paperback
$18.99
by Wesley Morris (Author), Kim Dana Kupperman (Author)
A landmark nonfiction anthology, this collection of the year's best essays is selected by Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Wesley Morris and series editor Kim Dana Kupperman.
"Imparting some piece of yourself--any part--is arduous and warrants some kind of commendation," writes guest editor Wesley Morris in his introduction. Both personal and personable, the essayists in this volume use their own vulnerability to guide readers on excursions that unfold on uncomfortable edges. From contemplating the nuances of memory to exploring the complexities of family, romance, gender identity, illness, and death, Morris's selection of powerful personal essays and cultural criticism presents a roundup of the thinkers who masterfully grapple with the issues of our time.
The Best American Essays 2024 includes TEJU COLE - MICHAEL W. CLUNE - YIYUN LI - JAMES McAULEY - RÉMY NGAMIJE - JENNIFER SENIOR - SALLIE TISDALE - JERALD WALKER - JENISHA WATTS and others
