The Best American Essays 2019 (The Best American Series ®)

A collection of the yearâ€™s best essays selected by Robert Atwan and guest editor Rebecca Solnit.

â€œEssays are restless literature, trying to find out how things fit together, how we can think about two things at once, how the personal and the public can inform each other, how two overtly dissimilar things share a secret kinship,â€ contends Rebecca Solnit in her introduction. From lost languages and extinct species to life-affirming cosmologies and literary myths that offer cold comfort, the personal and the public collide in The Best American Essays 2019. This searching, necessary collection grapples with what has preoccupied us in the past yearâ€”sexual politics, race, violence, invasive technologiesâ€”and yet, in reading for the book, Solnit also found â€œhow discovery can be a deep pleasure.â€
Â The Best American Essays 2019 includes Michelle Alexander, Jabari Asim, Alexander Chee, Masha Gessen, Jean Guerrero, Elizabeth Kolbert, Terese Marie Mailhot, Jia Tolentino, and others.
