The 2001 edition features not only celebrated wordsmiths like Ha Jin, Louise Erdrich, Francisco Goldman, Chang-rae Lee, and Zadie Smith, but also emerging new talents like T. E. Holt and Rhina P. Espaillat. This year's edition boasts deeply compassionate stories that explore the widening gap between our day-to-day experiences and what we too often read or see elsewhere. Writes Diaz in his introduction, "The freshness and originality and humanity of these writers and their work renewed me." We hope that the Beacon Best of 2001 will delight and challenge you to see the world with new eyes. 3230503 6 10 2001 Beacon Best of 2001 (Beacon Anthology) total:20|5:3|4:9|3:7|2:1| 20 74 38 3 2 0 false false Wed Sep 16 12:46:42 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 10:53:13 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 12:46:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jul 07 08:48:42 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 08:50:25 -0700 2008 I also loved the Dagoberto Gilb story and the paper flowers piece also.]]> 4 0 false false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Apr 22 11:13:42 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 22 11:14:31 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 00:40:03 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 00:40:03 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 12:58:35 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 12:58:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 10 11:27:16 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 11:27:16 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 21 19:08:30 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 19:08:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 05 22:06:05 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 22:06:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Apr 21 11:55:08 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 11:55:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 20 07:27:31 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 07:27:31 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Feb 27 13:01:39 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 13:01:39 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 08 20:22:19 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 20:22:19 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Thu Jan 29 23:22:14 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 23:26:27 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 09 18:00:48 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 09 18:00:48 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 08 22:53:03 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 22:53:03 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Sep 07 10:18:34 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 10:18:34 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 21 11:23:11 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 11:23:11 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Aug 15 22:10:28 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 22:10:28 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jul 25 13:05:03 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 13:05:03 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jun 15 14:37:59 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 14:37:59 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=96077
