THE BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS 2020 KARTONIERT (TB)

A collection of the year's best essays selected by André Aciman  author of the worldwide
bestseller Call Me by Your Name. An essay is the child of uncertainty  André Aciman contends
in his introduction to The Best American Essays 2020. The struggle to write what one hopes is
entirely true  and the long incubation every piece of writing requires of a writer who is
thinking difficult thoughts  are what ultimately give the writing its depth  its magnitude  its
grace. The essays Aciman selected center on people facing moments of deep uncertainty 
searching for a greater truth. From a Black father's confrontation of his son's illness  to a
divorcée's transcendent experience with strangers  to a bartender grieving the tragic loss of
a friend  these stories are a master class not just in essay writing but in empathy  artfully
imbuing moments of hardship with understanding and that elusive grace. The Best American 2020
Essays includes RABIH ALAMEDDINE • BARBARA EHRENREICH • LESLIE JAMISON JAMAICA KINCAID • ALEX
MARZANO-LESNEVICH • A. O. SCOTT • JERALD WALKER • STEPHANIE POWELL WATTS and others
