This year's selection includes William Langewiesche's probing investigation in Vanity Fair of the slaughter of twenty-four Iraqis in Haditha; C. J. Chivers's chilling account in Esquire of the 2004 hostage crisis in Beslan, which killed 331 people, 186 of them children; Susan Casey's revelation in Best Life of a virtually unknown, Texas-sized garbage dump resting at the bottom of the Pacific ocean; and Andrew Corsello's harrowing portrait in GQ of Robert Mugabe's mad rule and two men-a white farmer and a fiery black priest-who strive for forgiveness instead of hate.

The Best American Magazine Writing 2007
A collection of 18 of the best articles from American magazines published in 2006. Almost uniformly impressive, barring a strange critique of an E.B. White essay about geese by Paul Theroux, this collection promises to deliver top quality writing in a variety of fields and it delivers. Thought provoking, moving, funny and anger inducing. The biggest flaw I found was that I read it so quickly I did not give each piece the time for thought that it deserved. I would also add that some of the pieces missed out on having no photographs present. Immedietly back on the re-read pile. Barry Silver Star.
Here are two of the articles I found most impressive.
