Edited by The New Yorkers fiction editor, Deborah Treisman, a celebratory selection from one hundred years of short stories in the magazine which has been the most influential and important showcase for the form and has launched dozens of stellar careers in fictionThere is simply no AZ like the alphabet of fiction writers who have appeared in the pages of The New Yorker in the last hundred years. The book boasts inarguable classics like Salingers A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Annie Proulxs Brokeback Mountain, and Shirley Jacksons The Lottery alongside stunners to be rediscovered. Some stories defined a moment or a nowlost world (Isaac Bashevis Singers The Cafeteria); others showed us a whole new way fiction could sound and feel (The Red Girl, by Jamaica Kincaid).With this vivid selection, Treisman showcases how our fiction has changed over time, and reminds us that past literary fashions continue to ripple outward in the fiction we love today. What does a Donald Barthelme mean to the craft of short fiction now? What will a Yiyun Li mean to the next generation of readers and writers? This exquisite tour of the form as practiced at its highest level will leap directly into the hearts of readers of all ages, all stripes, and is a beautiful tribute to the magazines influence on our literary culture over the last century.

I bought 'A Century of Fiction in the New Yorker' to enjoy some classic short stories, and wow, it did not disappoint! The range from 1925 to 2025 is fascinating, and I love how the editorial choices reflect the changing times. It’s a hefty book, but I’m savoring each piece!

A Must-Have for Literature Lovers
As a big fan of The New Yorker, I found this collection to be a treasure trove! The stories are wonderfully diverse, and the historical context gives so much depth. I bought it as a gift for my book club, and we can’t wait to discuss it together!

Great Collection, But Lacks Some Favorites
This anthology features some really brilliant stories, but I was surprised that a few of my all-time favorites from The New Yorker were missing. Still, it’s a solid collection that gives a nice overview of fiction over the past century. Worth picking up if you're a literary fan!

Beautiful Concept, But Heavy to Read
I appreciate the concept behind 'A Century of Fiction,' but the book is quite heavy and hard to handle for long periods. Some stories are great, but the layout could use a bit of improvement. I wish it was more portable for reading on the go!
