People.com :    One of the most star-heavy Broadway seasons in recent memory has not resulted in a big-name lineup in nominations for this year's 65th annual Tony Awards, celebrating the best of the bright White Way. Besides a snubbed Robin Williams in the drama Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, Chris Rock in The Motherf----- in the Hat, Jim Belushi in Born Yesterday and Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying – though his costar John Larroquette and the show itself were nominated – also overlooked was the entire cast (as well as the revival itself) of the drama That Championship Season: Brian Cox, Jim Gaffigan, Chris Noth, Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland

1. Best African American Fiction by editors Gerald Early, Nikki Giovanni

Bursting with energy and innovation, the second volume in the annual anthology collects the year’s best short stories by African American authors. Dealing with all aspects of life from the pain of war to the warmth of family, the superb tales in Best African American Fiction 2010 are a tribute to the stunning imaginations thriving in today’s African-American literary community—chosen by guest editor Nikki Giovanni.

2. Life Is Short But Wide by J. California Cooper

Cooper’s characteristic motherly wit carries an appealing raft of characters through a world tougher than it is tender, but touched with beauty and wisdom.

3. The Collected Autobiographies of Maya Angelou by Maya Angelou

Superbly told, with the poet’s gift for language and observation, Angelou’s autobiography of her childhood in Arkansas—a world of which most Americans are ignorant. Six works, including “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “All God’s Children Need Travelin’ Shoes,” together in one book.
