Eric Reynolds at Fantagraphics mentioned it a while ago, but I didn’t really believe it until I saw the book a few of days ago: Million Year Boom, my story from MOME 11 was selected for the 2009 edition of Best American Nonrequired Reading. I’m REALLY surprised and thrilled to have my work appear in such an amazing collection. Two other MOME contributors, Olivier Schrauwen and √âmile Bravo were also selected. Congratulations to all contributors!
For more about Best American Nonrequired Reading series and it’s selection committee check out their very own blog. A portion of the proceeds from the book go to benefit the 826 National youth literacy project.
The book should be available in bookstores at blog time. Or buy the book online via: Magers & Quinn, Amazon, Powells.

OH crud! i just typed a nice comment and as soon as i submitted it it come up blank! Please tell me it worked properly? I do not want to sumit it again if i do not have to! Either the blog bugged out or i am just stuipd :), the latter doesnt surprise me lol.
The comment worked, but there is an approval process. Well at least the one you see worked… unless there was another one? In that case it didn’t work. In any case, thanks for typing a nice comment!
