Welcome
Welcome to the Fifteenth Edition of The Norton Reader, an
anthology devoted to excellent nonfiction writing. As our vibrant
cover suggests, we hope that this collection can be both a mirror and
a window for your reading and writing; that you see yourself reflected
in the thoughts and experiences found here; and that you encounter
new perspectives on the world and how to write about them. In this
book you’ll find the intersection of personal writing with civic
conversations and academic ideas. You’ll find a broad range of
authors, from the contemporary voices of Tara Westover and Viet
Thanh Nguyen to classic writers like Frederick Douglass and E. B.
White, from humorist David Sedaris to youth activist Emma
González. You’ll find selections on the environment, education, race,
sports, food, and more. As you read this collection of essays, we
invite you to reflect on the issues, ideas, and genres presented. May
The Norton Reader inspire your writing now and in the future.
