Best! is a collection of seventy-three letters written in 2020, capturing an unprecedented moment in politics and society through the experiences of Asian-American artists, curators, educators, art historians, editors, writers, and designers. Featuring contributions from Cathy Park Hong, Jia Tolentino, Mel Chin, Chitra Ganesh, and John Yau, among many others, Best! offers readers intimate insights into the complexities of Asian American experiences, moving beyond the model-minority myth. Chronicling everyday lives, dreams, rage, family histories, and cultural politics, these letters ignite new ways of being, and modes of creating, at a moment of racial reckoning.
