THE BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS 2023 - VIVIAN GORNICK ...

In her introduction to this year’s The Best American Essays   guest editor Vivian Gornick
states that her selections “contribute materially to the long and honorable history of the
personal essay by way of the value they place on lived experience.” Provocative  daring  and
honest at a time when many writers are deliberately silencing themselves in the face of
authoritarian and populist censorship movements  the twenty-one essays collected here reflect
their authors’ unapologetic observations of the world around them. From an inmate struggling to
find purpose during his prison sentence to a doctor coping with the unpredictable nature of her
patient  to a widow wishing for just a little more time with her late husband  these
narratives—and the others featured in this anthology—celebrate the endurance of the human
spirit. The Best American Essays 2023 includes Ciara Alfaro • Jillian Barnet • Sylvie
