The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2003

Since its inception in 1915, the Best American series has become the premier annual showcase for the country’s finest short fiction and nonfiction. For each volume, the very best pieces are selected by an editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field, making the Best American series the most respected-and most popular-of its kind. Dave Eggers, who edits The Best American Nonrequired Reading annually, has once again chosen the best and least-expected fiction, nonfiction, satire, investigative reporting, alternative comics, and more.

The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2004 includes Lynda Barry, Ryan Boudinot, Jonathan Safran Foer, Lisa Gabriele, Andrea Lee, J. T. Leroy, ZZ Packer, David Sedaris, and others.
