About The Book
“The Best American Magazine Writing 2008” is an essential guide to the year’s most entertaining, politically charged, and sophisticated essays. With pieces first published in “The Nation,” “National Geographic,” “Vanity Fair,” and the “New Yorker,” among other leading publications, this anthology illuminates the most compelling issues of the past year and points to the topics that will concern us in the next. Chosen from among the winners and finalists of the 2008 National Magazine Awards, these articles span an eclectic range, from a chilling account of the CIA’s secret interrogation program to a humorous look at the absurdities of modern medicine, from a scathing critique of America’s activities in Iraq to an acid takedown of snark culture.
The anthology also includes Matthew Scully’s fascinating peek inside the making of the George W. Bush presidency; Walter Kirn’s surprising report on the mental effects of multitasking; Steve Oney’s investigation into the unforeseen casualties of the Iraq War; Christopher Hitchens’s frank assessment of the relationship between illicit sex and politics; Matt Taibbi’s award-winning profile of Barack Obama; Peter Hessler’s tour of China’s instant cities; Caitlin Flanagan’s flirtation with the online escapades of minors; Kurt Andersen’s meditation on American greed; and Evan Wright’s absorbing account of Hollywood’s oddest comeback. From one girl’s escape from Burundi to an expos? of American coal mining, “The Best American Magazine Writing 2008” showcases the unparalleled work of our greatest writers and critics.
