Reviews

"New Yorker writer Schulz (Being Wrong) collects essays that skillfully combine journalistic and literary sensibilities in this powerful addition to the annual anthology series... This is a moving retrospective of a singular year." - Publishers Weekly on The Best American Essays 2021 "These essays challenge personal and political assumptions and show us life in all its complexities and contradictions. Which in this American moment, and in every other, matters." - USA Today "[A] thoughtful entry in the long-running series...The works in this year's collection are a mix of the disconcerting, the probing, and the self-reflective, and well-suited to challenging times." - Publishers Weekly
