In a time of escalating authoritarianism and disinformation, we turn to artists and writers to make sense of the world around us. The twenty-one authors featured in this collection do not proselytize, nor do they claim to have all the answers. Instead, they teach with vulnerability, raw truths, and open questions. This volume offers testimonies and personal narratives about war and fear; oblivion and memory; disease, grief, and boredom; nonhuman animals and plants; poverty and hyperabundance; consciousness and solipsism; the loss of literature and the work of art; pretense and respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS 2025 INCLUDES: ALEXIS PAULINE GUMBS - SARAH AZIZA - JOHN JEREMIAH SULLIVAN - CAROLYN FORCHÉ - MOSAB ABU TOHA - CHRISTIAN LORENTZEN - WILLIAM DERESIEWICZ - CHRISTINA SHARPE - AND OTHERS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTolentino, Jia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJia Tolentino\u003c\/strong\u003e is a staff writer at the \u003cem\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e, the author of the essay collection \u003cem\u003eTrick Mirror, \u003c\/em\u003e and a screenwriter.
