New Yorker's 20 under 40: a diverse and interesting line-up

Here are writers from China, Ethiopia, Russia, former Yugoslavia, all of whom are winding new immigrant stories into the narrative of American life in the early 21st century, much as the fugitives from war-torn Europe did in the 20th century.
