Summary
Featuring multiple narrators, each essay is brought uniquely and vivdly to life.

“The essayist needs the objective world,” writes M. Gessen, the guest editor of The Best American Essays 2026, asking, “But does the objective world need the essayist?” There is no straightforward answer to Gessen’s query, yet the authors in this volume tackle it headfirst. In doing so, they provide a mosaic depicting the year 2025, examining the degradation of American media, human consciousness, queer identity, wealth disparity, illness, capital punishment, war, and art. The twenty authors featured here show us that the essay and its subjective nature make meaning of a world that is growing more incomprehensible with each day.
