More and more readers turn to "The Best American Magazine Writing" for their annual fix of the year's most captivating essays, columns, reporting, and criticism. Chosen from the winners and finalists of the 2009 National Magazine Awards, this year's selections include the haunting story by Chris Jones of an American soldier's final journey home; James Wood's brilliant critique of the award-winning novelist Marianne Robinson ; a compelling column by Naomi Klein on the return of class consciousness in America; two biting reviews of recent books on feminism by Sandra Tsing Loh ; and a moving and insightful account by David Lipsky of David Foster Wallace in his final days.

Also featured are a fascinating report by Ryan Lizza on the political making of Barack Obama; an unforgettable profile by Hanna Rosin of a transgendered child struggling to be normal in rural America; absorbing reflections by Tom Chiarella on apprenticing as a butcher in an Indianapolis meat market; and an unusual look by Sean Flynn at the legacy of the late singer and unstoppable personality, James Brown. Chris Anderson, popular commentator and author of the best-selling book "The Long Tail" adds his own, not-to-be-missed introduction. "Take a break from the screen and dive in," he writes. "I think you'll emerge, many pages later, no longer worrying about the future of print."
