Features: In recent years, we have often encountered readers from various backgrounds—undergraduates from English universities, graduate students, translation professionals, and English literature enthusiasts—who have mentioned, without exception, their desire to read more new English original works. Unfortunately, such books are hard to find, and most available ones are from earlier eras, making it extremely difficult to access recent literary originals. For this reason, our company decided to publish this series of books. This book aims to balance the literary representativeness of the works, selecting authors and works from different schools and styles as much as possible, so that readers not only gain a deep impression of each author's style but also gain a relatively broad understanding of contemporary American literature. The annotations are targeted at upper-level undergraduate English university students and English literature enthusiasts with equivalent proficiency. They strive to be concise and focused, only annotating some difficult idioms, unique background knowledge, and challenging sentences.
