New Yorker Releases 20-Best-Under-40 List

The New Yorker released it’s list of the best (or most worth-watching or coolest or hippest or whatever criteria) writers under the age of 40. The list is in conjunction with the magazine’s special double-literature issue that will be released this coming Monday.

Here’s the rundown of the names (along with ages) courtesty of The New York Times:
–Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, 32
–Chris Adrian, 39
–Daniel Alarcón, 33
–David Bezmozgis, 37
–Sarah Shun-lien Bynum, 38

I’m now awaiting with baited breath Old Lady Johnson’s List of the Worst Under 14, sure to represent the students most worth-watching as they dangle participles and end sentences in prepositions in 8th grade composition classes.
