"Selected by editor Mireille Silcoff, the 2022 edition of 'Best Canadian Essays' showcases the best Canadian non-fiction writing published in 2021. Silcoff lives in Montreal, QC. 'Our current, tumultuous age' writes editor Mireille Silcoff, 'is an important time for essayists, because in moments of great change, it's good to have chroniclers with the presence of mind to step back and assess.' Silcoff's selections for 'Best Canadian Essays 2023' do just that. In examinations of identity -- personal, familial, racial, and cultural -- and investigations of the far-reaching shockwaves of war; in mediations on illness and health, belonging and alienation, parents and children; in unexpected arguments about novel-writing, Donald Trump, and the Filet-O-Fish sandwich, the essays gathered here chart all kinds of boundaries, comprising, as Silcoff terms it, 'a small bid for understanding that a border, a line drawn, need not be only the beginning or the end of something. That a frontier can be a place -- indeed is the best place -- for a conversation between sides to begin.'"--From publisher.
