Overview: A true essay is “something hazarded, not definitive, not authoritative; something ventured on the basis of the author’s personal experience and subjectivity,” writes guest editor Jonathan Franzen in his introduction. However, his main criterion for selecting The Best American Essays 2016 was, in a word, risk. Whether the risks involved championing an unpopular opinion, the possibility of ruining a professional career, or irrevocably offending family, for Franzen, “the writer has to be like the firefighter, whose job, while everyone else is fleeing the flames, is to run straight into them.”Bajadas / Francisco CantúGirl / Alexander CheeAgainst honeymoons / Charles ComeyNames / Paul CrenshawOrdinary girls / Jaquira DíazMy father and the wine / Irina DumitrescuMy heart lies between "the fleet" and "all the ships" / Ela HarrisonThe bonds of battle / Sebastian JungerSexual paranoia / Laura KipnisThin places / Jordan KisnerPyre / Amitava KumarOf human carnage / Richard M.

A profoundly satisfying read. I became deeply invested in the protagonist's journey. A masterclass in storytelling. An absolute must-read for connoisseurs of the genre.

It was adequate. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. A fair 3 stars.

A highly sophisticated read. The protagonist was compelling, though some subplots felt slightly overshadowed. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. The middle had a deliberate pace, but the climax was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this to discerning readers.
