Isaac Bashevis Singer. Shirley Jackson. Annie Proulx. J.D. Salinger. Saul Bellow. Philip Roth. And so many more, including George Saunders, and stories published recently. How to choose the lucky stories that made the cut? Deborah Treisman, the fiction editor of The New Yorker, edited the glorious new book, A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker: 1925-2025.
