Paperback. Condition: New. Sonny Paine, named after a New York homeless man who gained notoriety (and a New York Times profile) begging on the F train, returns with a new issue of student-written stories and nonfiction. Based on their work in 826NYC's famous writing lab, the students take on a bracingly wide range of topics, cracking wise on everything from Coney Island to lighting bugs to a horrible accident involving fireworks on the Gowanus Canal. Typical of the entries is Dylan Suher's compelling short story "IED." Set during "the whole winter of the great bomb," this ambitious story offers fresh, grimly comic insights into "block-bred racism," teenage angst, and the urban alienations peculiar to a post-9/11 world. At once sharp, irreverent, and heartfelt, Sonny Paine, Issue Two -- edited, designed, and created entirely by high school students -- presents a new generation of literary lights.

Paperback. Condition: New. Seeley, Scott; Potts, Sam (illustrator). The 826NYC Review collects exceptional writing by students at McSweeney's 826NYC writing lab, as well as by students from across the five boroughs of New York. The works collected here range from poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, and showcase the dazzling talent of these young voices. Past issues included a story about miniature jumping dinosaurs, a choose-your-own adventure involving a cat named Excellent Phil, space-monkey fables, and pirate plays. Issue Three is an all-new collection of stories, poems, plays, and interviews covering similar (and not-so-similar) subject matter.
Hardback. Condition: New. 826LA, a non-profit writing and tutoring center, worked with students at Susan Miller Dorsey High School to produce From the Couch to the Kitchen, a book of food writing. The authors gather perfect ingredients from grocery stores and gardens, prepare ceviche and oxtail and tacos, and enjoy meals with family and friends. While nominally about food, these narratives touch on more than that. Enjoying a solitary snack of apples and peanut butter conjures memories of a loved one, while working together to prepare the traditional family gumbo recipe leads to reflection on the nature of family. Through food, these students share stories about history and tradition, family and community. From the Couch to the Kitchen also features a foreword by author and chef Alice Waters.
