Collected here are seventeen prose stories and two comics created by established and rising stars in American fiction and graphic narrative, all published since the year 2000—masterful works that vary greatly in style and content but spring from a common source: the desire to forge a future in today’s divided America. They speak to our changing society, presenting characters from differing and often mixed cultural and racial backgrounds, genders, sexuality, and ableness. Bold and sometimes unsettling, these intimate stories have the power to open our eyes and our hearts. They urge us to embrace a complex understanding of who we are as a nation and who we can be as individuals.
The authors are: Vanessa Hua, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Bryan Washington, Roxane Gay, Alice Hoffman, Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Akhil Sharma, Kali Fajardo-Anstine, Mister Loki, Rion Amilcar Scott, Maria Anderson, Phil Klay, Joy Baglio, Robert Anthony Siegel, Ryka Aoki, Bryan Hurt, Shivana Sookdeo, Casey Robb, and Nancy Fulda.
Brice Particelli, the editor, teaches writing at the University of California, Berkeley, and has been named a 2022 Creative Writing Fellow in Literature by the National Endowment for the Arts. He is co-editor (with Anne Mazer) of the multicultural anthology of short stories, America Street and is currently working on his first book.

About Us
ZANDBROZ VARIETY
Since 1989
In 1988, Jeff and Greg Danz had a dream. They would open a store that they would want to shop. So they bought an empty turn of the century building in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The brothers spent a year restoring the building and developing the concept for what would become Zandbroz Variety. When the doors opened in May of 1989, Zandbroz was a bookstore with an eclectic mix of other inventory, an old fashioned soda fountain and coffee bar. The store was a hit and a couple of years later a second location was opened in Fargo, ND. Zandbroz Variety started in a world before Barnes and Noble, Starbucks and internet shopping were part of the landscape. That of course all changed and so too Zandbroz has evolved and changed –THIRTY years later and we are still here!
