A Century of Fiction in The New Yorker: 1925-2025

I am a longtime New Yorker subscriber, and this collection is a must-have for any enthusiastic fiction reader. I will re-open it often to reread some memorable stories.

Nice heavy hard back book. It has many many stories in it.

Not a New Yorker so don't subscribe to the magazine, but they always have good writing, good stories; seriously within minutes of this new publication appearing in my feed, I ordered; short stories are like a box of chocolates to me: one, or two or ten at a time; and if the stories are wonderful, I read again and again; and each time I lift up this chunk of book I am increasing my muscle mass...massively....it is not a book for old frail people; maybe the digital download would be better, but I really like the cover art work; any reader will find something in this collection...enjoy

Great variety of interesting stories/ well worth the addition to everyone’s library

150 years of The New Yorker's fiction. Some famous authors early work before they were popular. A must have for anyone who reads and enjoys The New Yorker.

The best of the best

This is a wonderful collection of stories from the New Yorker that gives the reader a chance to enjoy a variety of writers all in one book. The dates are listed after each story and starts with E..B White from 1926 and the last story is from 2024 by Rivka Galchen. Highly Recommended

The diversity of themes in this book are impressive and highly resonate with me in some way. My favorite stories are the "The First American", "Seven" and "The Third and Final Continent". These are stories about people who immigrate from Austria and Haiti and India, who try to assimilate to life in the United States and learn the English language. The relatives on my mother's side all struggled to do this when they came here. My other favorite story is "Defender of The Faith" by Phillip Roth. Even though I am not Jewish, I found the extent of the main character to defend his faith to be powerful reading. "Midnight In Dostoevsky" is a great story about two college friends and their observations about a mysterious stranger. This story has an unusual twist to it. Midnight in Dostoevsky also has a secondary character in the form of a college logic professor. The professor in this story reminds me a lot of a professor who pushed me academically. I also love the buddy road trip stories like "The Happiest I've Ever Been" and "Gallatin Canyon" These two stories explore some interesting sights across the midwestern part of the United States that I would love to see someday. The book ends with the story "Crown Heights North". This story resonates with me because I am a man in my fifties who is trying to be steadfast in staying healthy like the main character in this story.
