Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Amusing and meaningful, light and yet profound, like the best magazine in the world — which unfortunately comes out only once a year." Kirkus Reviews Review:"Although some of the fiction is a bit too more mired in the kind of earnestness one tends to outgrow (to be fair, this is really a matter of taste), many of the nonfiction pieces are hilarious and/or compelling." Library Journal Synopsis:The debut last year of this newest addition to the Best American series was an instant hit with readers of all ages. We are thrilled to announce that Dave Eggers will be editing the volume annually. Again he will be choosing the finest, most interesting, and least expected fiction, nonfiction, humor, alternative comics, and more from publications large, small, and on-line — The Onion, The New Yorker, Shout, Time, and Zoetrope, to name just a few. About the AuthorDave Eggers, author of the phenomenal bestseller A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and editor of McSweeney's, is series editor. He is the founder of 826 Valencia, a San Francisco writing lab for city youth.
