Product Details

The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2006

Overview
Commentary
In its fifth year of existence, Dave Eggers's THE BEST AMERICAN NONREQUIRED READING series has hit its stride, culling wonderful writing from all imaginable sources and forms: stories, comics, jokes, essays, journalism, webzines, and the art world. The anthology, gathered in part by teenage writers in Eggers's San Francisco writing workshops, does a wonderful job juggling more traditional short stories from Kurt Vonnegut and Haruki Murakami (if those writers can ever be truly considered traditional) with surprising gems, spoofs, and wonders from the wide world of writing. In the end, THE BEST AMERICAN NONREQUIRED READING 2006 is perhaps the most indicative and evocative anthology of American letters in print, far outrunning its somewhat moribund partner, THE BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES series.

Publisher's Notes
The eclectic new volume in the annual series presents the finest literature from mainstream and alternative American periodicals, including fiction, nonfiction, screenplays, TV writing, and alternative comics by Judy Budnitz, George Packer, The Onion, The Daily Show, and This American Life. Simultaneous.

Reviews
"In the introduction, comic strip artist and The Simpsons creator Groening provides a list of books that 'will keep you up late at night when you're supposed to be sleeping or making love.' This is one such book." (starred review)
