A review by meghan111
The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2009 by Dave Eggers

3.0

Some humorous lists in the front section, then a mix of essays, short stories, and comics. If I had to pick a theme, I would say that a lot of this volume seems to be about issues of identity. Like most anthologies, it varies in tone and quality and I skipped some. Unlike most, I thought the latter half of the book was better than the first half. Jonathan Franzen's essay about David Foster Wallace was great.
