20 Under 30

This collection introduced the voices of a new generation of writers whom Bob Shacochis called "the master storytellers of the 21st century." 20 Under 30 stands as a record of their early efforts, a vital document that reveals why they would soon ascend to the highest ranks in contemporary fiction writing.

20 Under 30 collects the early work of David Leavitt, Lorrie Moore, Leigh Allison Wilson, Mona Simpson, Susan Minot, Ann Patchett, David Updike, Kate Wheeler, Bret Lott, Emily Listfield, and many more.

New to this Scribner Paperback Fiction edition is a preface by editor Debra Spark, providing a look back at her experience compiling this groundbreaking collection.
