In 1984 a group of young editors at Vintage Books
launched an innovative series called Vintage Contemporaries. The first lists
included such classics as Jay Mclnerney s Bright Lights, Big City; Raymond
Carver s Cathedral; and Ann Beattie s Love Always. In the years since, Vintage
Contemporaries has become the leading publisher of modern fiction, presenting
the best, the brightest, and the most original authors around.
Culled from the finest the series has to offer, here are stories ancJ excerpts
from some of our most accomplished and creative writers. This anthology
includes an excerpt from Frederick Exley s classic journey into the dark side of
the American dream, A Fan s Notes; three wonderful vignettes from The House
on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros; Mark Leyner s uproariously funny and
inexhaustibly inventive account of an outrageously successful author named
Mark Leyner from Et Tu, Babe; Mona Simpson s moving and lyrical tale of a pre-
cocious girl s cross-country odyssey with her eccentric mother from Anywhere But
Here; a miraculous tale of a middle-aged divorced man at the crossroads of life
from Richard Ford s The Sportswriter; and many, many more.
The Vintage Contemporaries Reader is a treasure trove of some of the most
stunning writing in America today, showing not only what Vintage
Contemporaries has become over the last fourteen years but also what the state
of the art looks like on the eve of the twenty-first century.
