A review by katecutrer
The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2008 by Dave Eggers

5.0

A bit disappointed with this collection although there were some very strong stories like Laura van den Berg's Where We Must Be. The Pearls Before Breakfast experiment (for which virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell performs in a busy subway station where indifferent commuters pass him by) was fascinating.
Surprises are great but I still wish the editors would give us basic fiction/non-fiction info for each piece.
