The Best American Magazine Writing 2021 presents outstanding
journalism and commentary that reckon with urgent topics, including
COVID-19 and entrenched racial inequality. In "The Plague Year,"
Lawrence Wright details how responses to the pandemic went astray
(New Yorker). Lizzie Presser reports on "The Black American
Amputation Epidemic" (ProPublica). In powerful essays, the novelist
Jesmyn Ward processes her grief over her husband's death against
the backdrop of the pandemic and antiracist uprisings (Vanity
Fair), and the poet Elizabeth Alexander considers "The Trayvon
Generation" (New Yorker). Aymann Ismail delves into how "The Store
That Called the Cops on George Floyd" dealt with the repercussions
of the fatal call (Slate). Mitchell S. Jackson scrutinizes the
murder of Ahmaud Arbery and how running fails Black America
(Runner's World). The anthology features remarkable reporting, such
as explorations of the cases of children who disappeared into the
depths of the U.S. immigration system for years (Reveal) and
Oakland's efforts to rethink its approach to gun violence (Mother
Jones). It includes selections from a Public Books special issue
that investigate what 2020's overlapping crises reveal about the
future of cities. Excerpts from Marie Claire's guide to online
privacy examine topics from algorithmic bias to cyberstalking to
employees' rights. Aisha Sabatini Sloan's perceptive Paris Review
columns explore her family history in Detroit and the toll of a
brutal past and present. Sam Anderson reflects on a unique pop
figure in "The Weirdly Enduring Appeal of Weird Al Yankovic" (New
York Times Magazine). The collection concludes with Susan Choi's
striking short story "The Whale Mother" (Harper's Magazine).
