The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2015
Selections by Bryan Stevenson, Lesley Nneka Arimah, Daniel Alarcon, Rebecca Curtis, Claudia Rankine, Paul Tough, Wells Tower, and more! For a year, a group of high school students met at a publishing house in San Francisco every Monday night to read literary magazines, chapbooks, graphic novels, and countless articles. This committee was assisted by a group of students that met in the basement of a robot shop in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The writing in this book is very essential, if not required, like visiting the Louvre if you're in Paris. In any case, nothing in this book takes place in Paris, as far as we can recall, but it does feature an elephant hunt, the fall of a reality-TV star, a walk through Ethiopia, and much more.
