The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2015 by Adam Johnson
The Best American Series (r)For the past 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. Together, and under the guidance of guest editor Adam Johnson, these high schoolers selected the contents of>The Best American Nonrequired Reading>2015. 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 of what Johnson calls the most important examinations in life.
