Beskrivelse
The twelfth installment of Best Canadian Essays speaks with striking prescience to our contemporary moment. "This book-like most that have found their way into the world this fall-began life in the Before Times," writes editor Sarmishta Subramanian. Written and first published by leading magazines and journals in 2019, the essays selected here speak with striking prescience to our contemporary moment. From health concerns both global and individual; to decisions about how much of ourselves we should share, online and in person; to surveillance capitalism and cancel culture, public and private concerns intertwine throughout Best Canadian Essays 2020. Just as our current challenges in public health, policing, and justice require researchers, lawmakers, and citizen groups, writes Subramanian, they also require writers. Here she presents sixteen, "essaying in the French sense of the word to think it through."Featuring work by:James Brooke-Smith * Larissa Diakiw * Jenny Ferguson * Wayne Grady * Alexandra Kimball * Amorina Kingdon * Andy Lamey * Michael LaPointe * Benjamin Leszcz * Alanna Mitchell * Alexandra Molotkow * Jeremy Narby * Andrew Nikiforuk * Michelle Orange * Christina Sharpe * Carl Wilson
