The New Yorker has chosen its "20 Under 40" list of fiction writers worth watching. The last list was published in 1999 and included future literary stars such as Jhumpa Lahiri, Nathan Englander and Junot Díaz; plus the likes of Michael Chabon, Jeffrey Eugenides, and David Foster Wallace who were already relatively well known - so the new list has been much anticipated.
The list will be published in the double fiction issue of The New Yorker that arrives on newsstands June 7.
