SynopsisThe fiction magazine Zoetrope: All-Story, founded in 1997 by film director Francis Ford Coppola, proved an instant and spectacular success with readers and critics nationwide. It won the National Magazine Award for fiction in 2001 -- the youngest magazine ever to do so. And its stories have been awarded coveted spots in such publications as Best American Short Stories, The O. Henry Award Prize Stories, and many more. Zoetrope: All-Story 2, sequel to the first collection from Zoetrope, presents the best of the best: a selection of some of the strongest work to have appeared in the magazine. Among the sixteen stories and essays are works by Jennifer Egan (author of Look at Me), Rick Moody (The Ice Storm), Francine Prose (Blue Angel), Steve Almond (My Life in Heavy Metal), Stacey Richter (My Date with Satan), and Toure (The Portable Promised Land). It also features two never-before-published stories, by Rick Bass and Alicia Erian, commissioned exclusively for this volume. The result is an exciting and vital collection, a must-have for readers of today's best writing.
