The Namesake
Jhumpa Lahiri
Gogol Ganguli, saddled with an odd name, caught between his Bengali family and his American life. Quietly gorgeous.
★ 5Samuel Johnson Is Indignant
Lydia Davis
Lydia Davis can do more in two sentences than most writers manage in twenty pages. Tiny, strange, razor-sharp stories.
★ 5Vintage Munro
Alice Munro
A slim best-of from the master of the short story. If you've never read Munro, this is a lovely way in.
