New Yorker 20 Under 40
The New Yorker reveals its list of the top 20 authors under 40 years old. But I read about it in the New York Times. The list is short on surprises, but I was surprised that we had reviewed books by so many of the chosen whippersnappers. Here’s the list (links go to our reviews):
- Chimamanda Ngogi Adichie (Half of a Yellow Sun + 1)
- Chris Adrian (The Children’s Hospital)
- Daniel Alarcon (Lost City Radio)
- David Bezmozgis
- Sarah Shun-lien Bynum
- Joshua Ferris (Then We Came to the End)
- Jonathan Safran Foer (Eating Animals, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close + 1 + 2)
- Nell Freudenberger
- Rivka Galchen (Atmospheric Disturbances – one of my all time favorites – check out our interviews w/ Galchen here and here)
- Nicole Krauss (The History of Love + 1)
- Yiyun Li
- Dinaw Mengestu
- Philipp Meyer
- C.E. Morgan
- Tea Obreht
- Z.Z. Packer
- Karen Russell
- Salvatore Scibona
- Gary Shteyngart (Absurdistan, The Russian Debutante’s Handbook + 1)
