2.5 Minute Ride and 101 Most Humiliating Stories
by Lisa KronThis book collects Lisa Kron's two extraordinary solo performance works. Best known for her ongoing work as a member of The Five Lesbian Brothers, Kron's solo pieces are very personal examinations of both herself and her family history. This is singularly clear in 2.5 Minute Ride, where her writing deftly maneuvers between the tragic drama of the Holocaust and the wry comedy of her family's attempts to pursue pleasure at the local amusement park. This critically acclaimed work played to sold out audience for over six months at New York's Public Theatre. Also included is the riotous 101 Most Humiliating Stories, which first premiered in 1993, and in fact only consists of seventeen tales but each, as the author observes, has several humiliations. It recounts the adventures and misadventures of a self-described Big Lesbian as she tests the boundaries of decorum in social and professional situations.

20 Something Essays By Twenty Something Writers
by Matt Kellogg Jillian QuintSelected as the winners of Random House’s national contest, a stunning collection of essays ranging from comic to poignant, personal to political, by the newest, brightest young writers you haven’t heard of . . . yet. Here, for the first time, current twentysomethings come together on their own terms, in their own words, and begin to define this remarkably diverse and self-aware generation. Tackling an array of subjects–career, family, sex, religion, technology, art–they form a vibrant, unified community while simultaneously proving that there is no typical twentysomething experience. In this collection, a young father works the late-night shift at Wendy’s, learning the finer points of status, teamwork, and french fries. An artist’s nude model explains why she’s happy to be viewed as an object. An international relief worker wrestles with his choices as he starts to resent the very people who need his help the most. A devout follower of Joan Didion explains what New York means to her. And a young army engineer spends his time in Kuwait futilely trying to grow a mustache like his dad’s. With grace, wit, humor, and urgency, these writers invite us into their lives and into their heads. Twentysomething Essays by Twentysomething Writers is a rich, provocative read as well as a bold statement from a generation just now coming into its own.
20 Stories: Twenty bizarre tales
by Félix Acosta FitipaldiHere you have twenty crazy, dark, ironic, and cruel stories. And, also, a humorous one. Each of them with a distinct theme and literary style. Let's have a look: She is waiting in the hall – Brief and simple. An appetizer in a cozy home before domestic chaos. Nenete – Emotive, strong, and sad. Unfortunately, a story that must have happened somewhere in real life. It won't be so easy – Death, depicted growing in her childhood, stalks a little boy who, dangerously, rides his tricycle near her. On wars as it is in duels –This blurb is not spoiler-free, so I suggest you read it after the story. (After a battle, the only survivor, dying, tells an anecdote to his comrades without knowing, in his delusion, that they are gone already.) Accelerated aging – This one was written when the author wasn't suffering from the symptoms that are narrated. He's confirmed his delusions. Time to scuttle away – It is Death again. This time, she's herding her flock under a storm. It'll make you think about the sense of existence. Flowers in the window – Macabre. An unfortunately frequent situation in which the victim manages to get free through murder. Conjugal sacrifices – A breather on the way. A man who, being under a lucky star, is given a gift he wasn't expecting. A little humor to dissipate the gloom from the previous stories. Tetrahedron – Many curious things can happen, if one tries to talk to oneself deeply. Especially, if oneself is a community. (The reader will find out why) A better life? - This lifetime's sorrows are extended beyond life and return thirsty for more. Ghosts in the attic – Along with "His match" and "The wind and the dogs" are the oldest triad of stories in this book. Kill the messenger – The passions and ambitions harbored by a group of men in a small town. A story about intrigue. Astrid – My favorite. The protagonist is a walking fail

20 Under 40: Stories from The New Yorker
by Deborah TreismanIn June 2010, the editors of The New Yorker announced to widespread media coverage their selection of "20 Under 40"—the young fiction writers who are, or will be, central to their generation. The magazine published twenty stories by this stellar group of writers over the course of the summer. They are now collected for the first time in one volume.The range of voices is extraordinary. There is the lyrical realism of Nell Freudenberger, Philipp Meyer, C. E. Morgan, and Salvatore Scibona; the satirical comedy of Joshua Ferris and Gary Shteyngart; and the genre-bending tales of Jonathan Safran Foer, Nicole Krauss, and Téa Obreht. David Bezmozgis and Dinaw Mengestu offer clear eyed portraits of immigration and identity; Sarah Shun-lien Bynum, ZZ Packer, and Wells Tower offer voice-driven, idiosyncratic narratives. Then there are the haunting sociopolitical stories of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Daniel Alarcón, and Yiyun Li, and the metaphysical fantasies of Chris Adrian, Rivka Galchen, and Karen Russell.Each of these writers reminds us why we read. And each is aiming for greatness: fighting to get and to hold our attention in a culture that is flooded with words, sounds, and pictures; fighting to surprise, to entertain, to teach, and to move not only us but generations of readers to come. A landmark collection, 20 Under 40 stands as a testament to the vitality of fiction today.
