New Yorker 20 under 40

In 1999, the New Yorker came out with a list of 20 writers under 40 to keep an eye on. That list included Jhumpa Lahiri and Junot Díaz (before they won Pulitzer Prizes), Michael Chabon, Jeffrey Eugenides, and David Foster Wallace. So, when the magazine decided to come out with a list again this year, they had our attention. Check out the work from those featured on the list, and read them before they're household names.

There are 35 books in this aisle.
