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 decent, if standard, experience. Certain acts were fascinating, while others felt like a slight endeavor to complete. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.
