The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2018 by Sheila Heti, 826 National
4.0
Year on year, this anthology introduces writers and stylings new to me. Selections that stood out for me:
-> Alex Tizon, "My Family's Slave"
-> David Wallace-Wells, "The Uninhabitable Earth"
-> Kathy Fish, "Collective Nouns for Humans in the Wild"
-> Kristen Roupenian, "Cat Person" (One of the few New Yorker fictions I read in the magazine -- and I actually read it before media picked it up. My reactions/understanding on this 2nd reading so different from my first.)
-> Lucy Huber, "A Fair Accusation of Sexual Harassment or a Witch Hunt?"
-> Laura Francis and Alexander Masters, "Love, Death & Trousers: Eight Found Stories"
