Recently, The New Yorker published its annual summer fiction issue. This year, the summer fiction issue recognizes 20 promising and talented fiction writers under the age of 40. The editors’ note about the selection of these emerging talents reflects on a similar list from 1999 that included Jhumpa Lahiri, Michael Chabon, and Junot Díaz, all writers whose literary accomplishments since 1999 have certainly lived up to their early promise.
Happily, the City Tech library’s collection includes a number of works by these talented writers. Tell us about your favorite emerging fiction writers in the comments.
