“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

Todo lo que no te conté

Ploughshares Summer 2020 Guest-edited by Celeste Ng

Pequeños fuegos por todas partes

Tout ce qu'on ne s'est jamais dit

Pequenos incêndios por toda parte

La saison des feux

Tanti piccoli fuochi

I nostri cuori perduti

Tudo o que nunca contei

Mici Focuri Pretutindeni

Kis tüzek mindenütt

Wszystko, czego wam nie powiedziałam

Corazones perdidos

Os corações perdidos

Μικρές φωτιές παντού

Όσα δεν σου είπα ποτέ

Tot ce nu ți-am spus

Małe ogniska

Alt det jeg aldrig fortalte dig

Kleine Feuer überall

Nasze zaginione serca

Onze verloren harten

Våra förlorade hjärtan

Οι χαμένες μας καρδιές

Säg inget om Lydia

Hiányzó szívünk

Små eldar överallt

Catorze dias

Wat ik nooit eerder heb gezegd

De savnede hjerter

Unsre verschwundenen Herzen

Pequenos Fogos em Todo o Lado

Wszystko, czego wam nie powiedziałam

Kleine brandjes overal

Alt jeg ikke sa

Prikriti plameni

Nos coeurs disparus

Małe ogniska

Tudo o Que Ficou Por Dizer

Små påsatte brande
