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.
