Electric Lit's Best Nonfiction of 2024

"The last decade has seen exponential growth in the popularity and prominence of nonfiction writing, and 2024 has been no exception. Where the writer often previously turned their gaze inward, and applied an understanding of the self to the world, the last year has seen a seismic shift. Writers are facing the world head-on, and tuning inward only once they've gleaned what they need. Our most celebrated authors have written plainly, pleadingly, their work startlingly clear-eyed and honest, yet there's an air of having gone deeper, of having peeled back a layer and exposed the raw nerve of a nation in turmoil. Our books are making the truthful connections that we often turn away from, reminding us that we are what we do, and therefore, that this is who we are. The books on this list are a revelation, and we hope you love them as we have loved them."
