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
