Compiles the best literary essays of the year originally published in American periodicals. This edition of the year's outstanding essays, the ninth in a distinguished series, is characterized by its eclectic nature both in author and subject matter. Entries include autobiographical, critical, and journalistic essays on such diverse topics as Nicholson Baker's humorous history of punctuation, an account of long-distance truckers, Ted Conover's piece on the AIDS epidemic in Rwanda, and Louise Erdrich's encounter with a skunk when she was 14. Edited by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Kidder, these essays capture the concern, thoughts, and pulse of 1994, from Lucy Grealy's personal account of living with disfigurement to David Denby's defense of the literary canon.
