Selected by editor Mireille Silcoff, the 2023 edition of Best Canadian Essays showcases the best Canadian nonfiction writing published in 2021.
âOur current, tumultuous ageâ writes editor Mireille Silcoff, âis an important time for essayists, because in moments of great change, itâs good to have chroniclers with the presence of mind to step back and assess.â Silcoffâs selections for Best Canadian Essays 2023 do just that. In examinations of identityâpersonal, familial, racial, and culturalâand 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, âa 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 placeâindeed is the best placeâfor a conversation between sides to begin.â
