The 2017 Sidney Awards, Part I

This Christmas Day gift from David Brooks and his NY Times colleagues represents their first batch of votes (part two is still to come) for best longform journalism in 2017.

Sure enough, there are several worthy essays here that merit your reading. Some, like Ronan Farrow's piece on the Harvey Weinstein sex scandal may have crossed your radar already, but that should not make others like Gary Saul Morson’s essay Solzhenitsyn's Cathedrals in The New Criterion any less a priority. Enjoy.
