Freeman's Family ─ The Best New Writing on Family

Freeman's: Family is the second literary anthology in the exciting new series from acclaimed writer and critic John Freeman. The series took off with a debut issue on the theme of "Arrival," and for the next anthology, Freeman has chosen a topic whose definition is constantly being challenged by the best of our writers: family.

With outstanding, never-before-published pieces of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry from literary heavyweights and up-and-coming writers alike,Freeman's: Family includes Claire Messud, writing on her dogs; Richard Russo, with an early excerpt from the sequel toNobody's Fool; Matt Summel, on returning to Vietnam with his father; Sandra Cisneros in a bitingly humorous piece on her past lovers; and many more.

John Freeman was the editor of Granta until 2013. His books includeHow to Read a Novelist and Tales of Two Cities: the Best and Worst of Times in Today's New York. He is executive editor at the Literary Hub and teaches at the New School and New York University. His work has appeared in theNew Yorker, the New York Times, and the Paris Review.
