The New Yorker Festival: Fiction

Some of America's most revered writers have made their reputations in the pages of the New Yorker Magazine. In 1999, the magazine let its work jump from the printed page to public venues for the first New Yorker Festival, where writers read their work.

Among many of the fiction writers who read from their works at this year's New Yorker Festival were Jonathan Franzen, Dave Eggers, Jhumpa Lahiri, E.L. Doctrow, Chang-rae Lee, Tobias Wolff and Jonathan Safran Foer.
