In New American Stories, the beautiful, the strange, the melancholy, and the sublime all comingle to show the vast range of the American short story.

Collected here are practitioners of deep realism, mind-blowing experimentalism, and every hybrid in between.

Luminaries and cult authors stand side by side with the most compelling new literary voices.

Nothing less than the American short story renaissance distilled down to its most relevant, daring, and unforgettable works,

New American Stories puts on wide display the true art of an American idiom.

“Ben Marcus is the rarest kind of writer: a necessary one. It’s become impossible to imagine the literary world–the world itself–without his daring, mind-bending and heartbreaking writing.”–Jonathan Safran Foer
