An eclectic collection of fiction, essays, poetry, and graphic work selected by high school students with the help of New York Times best-selling author Edan Lepucki.
Over the past year, a group of high school students have held weekly discussions in the basement conference room of a publishing house in San Francisco. Tasked with finding the best, most revealing, honest, and astonishing writing of the last twelve months, they pored over hundreds of published poems, stories, comics, and essays. With the help of guest editor Edan Lepucki, they selected the contents of this anthology, a collection of work they feel looks a lot like 2019. The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2019 features comics about war and butts and stories about pizza-delivery women, family, dolls giving birth, anthropomorphic lakes, and more. It was a successful year. Read on to see for yourself.
The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2019 includes Viet Thanh Nguyen, Charles Johnson, Robin Coste Lewis, Garth Greenwell, Nathaniel Russell, Britteney Black Rose Kapri, Andrea Long Chu, Deborah Taffa, Renée Branum, and others.

Title: What a waste of time.
Review: I can clearly understand why this is nonrequired readingâ¦itâs all about being on the right side of history, and reflects the loudest voices of the culture rather than wisest.

Title: College class required text
Review: This was a required text for a non-fiction writing class I took in college. We didn't even end up reading any of the excerpts from this text at all during the course of the semester, so I essentially purchased it for no reason. But I ended up reading the majority of the stories in there anyway, and I liked them a lot! There is a good variety and range of different styles of non-fiction writing. All manner of topics, something for everyone.
