Issue 98, Fall 2017

The Oxford American’s twenty-fifth anniversary continues with the magazine’s 98th issue, which includes the final installment in a series of excerpts from Jesmyn Ward’s new novel Sing, Unburied, Sing. Reflection on Southern history is a recurring theme in the issue. “It is an ongoing project,” editor Eliza Borné writes, “reckoning with our past, making the South a better place to live and dream and learn and work.”

Contributors include: David Ramsey, Danielle Chapman, Chris Offutt, Kaveh Akbar, Bob Hicok, Kevin A. González—and many more.
