“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

How these could be the best short stories published in America is beyond me. The pieces in this volume are unimaginative, slow, meandering, dull, and disturbingly simplistic; certainly they’re far from compelling. Too many are about teachers, students, and writers–it’s as if MFA professors in recent years have conducted fiction writing courses by been telling their students, “Don’t bother with conflict or an interesting storytelling arc; just type up some meandering prose based loosely on yourself (and, for your minor characters, on some friends of yours in academia or in suburban America) for as many pages as you want, wrap it up with an ambiguous sentence that you think sounds ‘deep’ but that won’t prove to be very meaningful or thought-provoking to readers, slap on a self-consciously odd title, and you, too, can get into the prestigious literary mags and into BEST AMERICAN”–and their automaton student writers complied without question. (Seriously: Did AI write these stories?) Selections in this series used to be original, vibrant, surprising, witty, fun, daring, impossible to put down, and *smart*; these are far from that. Come on, American fiction writers: Stop sleepwalking, wake up, and give us readers something to talk about!
