A collection of the year's best essays, selected by Pulitzer Prizewinning critic Wesley Morris and series editor Kim Dana Kupperman.
Imparting some piece of yourselfany partis arduous and warrants some kind of commendation, writes guest editor Wesley Morris in his introduction. Both personal and personable, the essayists in this compelling volume of literary nonfiction 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 unforgettable true stories presents a roundup of the thinkers who masterfully grapple with the issues of our time.
