, created by writer, critic, and former
editor John Freeman, has quickly gained an international following with wide acclaim. It has been called "bold [and] searching" by the
and "impressively diverse" by
. This issue introduces a list of more than twenty-five poets, essayists, novelists, and short story writers from around the world who are shaping contemporary literature and will continue to impact it in years to come.
Drawing on recommendations from book editors, critics, translators, and authors from across the globe,
includes pieces from writers aged twenty-five to seventy, from almost twenty countries and writing in almost as many languages. This will be a new kind of list, and an aesthetic manifesto for our times.
