<div>Curated by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wild, this volume shares intimate perspectives from some of today&rsquo;s most acclaimed writers. As Cheryl Strayed explains in her introduction, &ldquo;the invisible, unwritten last line of every essay should be and nothing was ever the same again.&rdquo; The reader, in other words, should feel the ground shift, if even only a bit. In this edition of the acclaimed anthology series, Strayed has gathered twenty-six essays that each capture an inexorable, tectonic shift in life. Personal and deeply perceptive, this collection examines a broad range of life experiences&mdash;from a man&rsquo;s relationship with Mormonism to a woman&rsquo;s search for a serial killer; from listening to the music of Joni Mitchell to surviving five months at sea; from triaging injured soldiers to giving birth to a daughter; and much more. The Best American Essays 2013 includes entries by Alice Munro, Zadie Smith, John Jeremiah Sullivan, Dagoberto Gilb, Vicki Weiqi Yang, J.D. Daniels, Michelle Mirsky, and others.</div>
