Short stories can act like little tuning forks, helping us to clarify our own values, writes guest editor Celeste Ng. In a time when our values are being tested daily, it's hard to think of anything more important. The Best American Short Stories 2025 resonates precisely at this pitch: twenty pieces that upend expectations and test the foundation of our beliefs. From a bereaved medical actress obsessed with a student in her rotation to a mysterious sickness that ignites a lethal running mania in its victims, and from the grounds of a wild animal estate to a celebrity look-alike mother-for-hire, these stories transport readers to the impossible edges of our world and vivify characters who reflect the spectrum of human experience.
THE BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES 2025 INCLUDES: LAUREN ACAMPORA - SARAH BRAUNSTEIN - BRET ANTHONY JOHNSTON - ELIZABETH McCRACKEN - CARRIE R. MOORE - ANDREW PORTER - WILLIAM PEI SHIH - JUSTIN TAYLOR - JESSICA TREADWAY - AND OTHERS
