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 --Joshua Ferris, 35 --Jonathan Safran Foer, 33 --Nell Freudenberger, 35 --Rivka Galchen, 34 --Nicole Krauss, 35 --Yiyun Li, 37 --Dinaw Mengestu, 31 --Philipp Meyer, 36 --C. E. Morgan, 33 --Téa Obreht, 24 --Z Z Packer, 37 --Karen Russell, 28 --Salvatore Scibona, 35 --Gary Shteyngart, 37 --Wells Tower, 37

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.
