The Best American Essays 2019 by Rebecca Solnit, Robert Atwan (series editor) (editor)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.0MB
Overview: A collection of the year’s best essays selected by Robert Atwan and guest editor Rebecca Solnit.
Rebecca Solnit, guest editor, is the author of more than twenty books, including A Field Guide to Getting Lost, Men Explain Things to Me, and A Paradise Built in Hell; a product from kindergarten to graduate school of the California public education system; a board member of Oil Change International; and this year a recipient of the Windham-Campbell Prize.
“Essays are restless literature, trying to find out how things fit together, how we can think about two things at once, how the personal and the public can inform each other, how two overtly dissimilar things share a secret kinship,” contends Rebecca Solnit in her introduction. From lost languages and extinct species to life-affirming cosmologies and literary myths that offer cold comfort, the personal and the public collide in The Best American Essays 2019. This searching, necessary collection grapples with what has preoccupied us in the past year—sexual politics, race, violence, invasive technologies—and yet, in reading for the book, Solnit also found “how discovery can be a deep pleasure.”
