They will attend karaoke night, hear a twenty-something slacker's breathless report of his failed recruiting by the FBI, and travel with a father and son as they channel grief into running a neigh­borhood bakery truck. They will watch the Greek goddess Persephone encounter the end of the world, and witness another apocalypse through a series of advertise­ments for a touchless bidet. And finally, they will meet an aging loner who finds courage and resilience hidden in the most unexpected of places--the next generation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published in partnership with beloved literary radio program and live show \u003ci\u003eSelected Shorts\u003c\/i\u003e in honor of its thirty-fifth anniversary, this collection of thirty-five stories captures its spirit in print for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURING\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rabih Alameddine * Jenny Allen * Lesley Nneka Arimah * Aimee Bender * Marie-Helene Bertino * Jai Chakrabarti * Patrick Cottrell * Elizabeth Crane * Michael Cunningham * Patrick Dacey * Edwidge Danticat * Dave Eggers * Omar El Akkad * Lauren Groff * Jacob Guajardo * A.M.
