Best American Nonrequired Reading 2005 Notable

I wouldn't have known if miss Laila hadn't emailed me the news:

I flipped through the BNAR 2005 last night, and in the back of the book, where Eggers put the stories that he had considered 'notable' for 2004, I saw a certain Randa Jarrar with "You Are a 14-Year Old..."!!

That's pretty fucking fabulous. Every once in a while, I feel dejected about the writing... then something cool like this happens. Yay.

The anthology comes out in October.
