Wyoming's Annie Proulx leads a stellar list of short story writers in The New Yorker's Summer Fiction Issue.
Joining Annie is the late Vladimir Nabokov with a story published in English for the first time. Nabokov, as you probably know, spent many summers in Wyoming writing and chasing butterflies. The issue features other stories by Haruki Murakami, winner of the 2006 Franz Kafka Prize; Mary Gaitskill; George Saunders; Zimbabwe writer Uwem Akpan; and American short-fiction master Tobias Wolff, who recently published "Our Story Begins: New and Selected Stories."
Annie Proulx's new collection, "Fine Just the Way It Is: Wyoming Stories 3," will be released in September. Annie lives near Saratoga.
The New Yorker has a web site where it features writers reading their stories, thousands of book and film reviews, and animated cartoons. Go to http://www.newyorker.com.
