The Best American Essays 2024
The Best American Essays 2024 | Kim Dana Kupperman, Wesley Morris
1 post | 1 read
A collection of the year’s best essays, selected by Pulitzer Prize–winning critic Wesley Morris and series editor Kim Dana Kupperman. “Imparting some piece of yourself—any part—is arduous and warrants some kind of commendation,” writes guest editor Wesley Morris in his introduction. Both personal and personable, the essayists in this volume 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 essays presents a roundup of the thinkers who masterfully grapple with the issues of our time. The Best American Essays 2024 includes TEJU COLE • MICHAEL W. CLUNE • YIYUN LI • JAMES McAULEY • RÉMY NGAMIJE • JENNIFER SENIOR • SALLIE TISDALE • JERALD WALKER • JENISHA WATTS and others

There were a few good essays in this mix but most bored me to near death. I bailed on more essays in this collection than I think I ever have in an essay collection. They just weren‘t interesting. I don‘t know, maybe I‘m just not in the mood for nonfiction, but the opening essay was so good, and then it was a fairly swift downhill from there.
