Author(s): Zadie Smith (Ed.)

Fiction

The perfect introduction to the best new voices coming out of America - nineteen short stories by young American writers, introduced by Zadie Smith. Step forward Dave Eggars, David Foster Wallace, Stacy Richter, Jonathan Lethem, Jeffrey Eugenides, Mathew Klam, Rick Moody, Myla Goldberg, Jonathan Safran Foer, Arthur Bradford and others. With a penchant for writing about such slippery subjects as snakes, letter-writing dogs, chicken livers and indoor shopping malls, this is the new generation of American writers to watch. As Zadie Smith says, 'You knew about these people before anybody else and one day the world and their dog will applaud you for it.'
