The Unprofessionals: New American Writing from The Paris

The Unprofessionals: New American Writing from The Paris Review

"A dispatch from the front lines of literature."Â â€”The Atlantic

The Unprofessionals is an energetic collection celebrating the bold writers at the forefront of todayâ€™s literary worldâ€”featuring stories, essays, and poems fromÂ â€œAmericaâ€™s greatest literary journalâ€ (Time)
Â
For more than half a century, the Paris Review has launched some of the most exciting new literary voices, from Philip Roth to David Foster Wallace. But rather than trading on nostalgia, the storied journalâ€”reconceived in 2010 by editor Lorin Steinâ€”continues to search outside the mainstream for the most exciting emerging writers. Harmonizing a timeless literary feel with impeccable modern taste, its pages are vivid proof that the best of todayâ€™s writing more than upholds the lofty standards that built the magazineâ€™s reputation.

The UnprofessionalsÂ collects pieces fromÂ the new iteration of the Paris ReviewÂ by contemporary writers who treat their art not as a profession, but as a calling. Some, like Zadie Smith, Ben Lerner, and John Jeremiah Sullivan, are already major literary presences, while others, like Emma Cline, Benjamin Nugent, and Ottessa Moshfegh, will soon be household names.Â A master class in contemporary writing across genres, this collection introduces the must-know voices in the modern literary scene.
