Esquire's recent assignment to 250 writers might just have made me a regular reader of the magazine. Their idea in their own words: "We mailed a simple cocktail napkin to writers from all over the country--some with a half dozen books to their name, others just finishing their first. In return, we received a wealth of stories."
The best part of this project, other than the fact that you can read all the stories for free here, is how many writers it can introduce you to in mere minutes. I was surprised by how few names I actually recognized. And I was even more surprised by the quality of the stories. The breadth of subject matter was interesting, as well as how many authors incorporated the napkin and/or bars into their stories.
Three of my favorites were Dynamite Eyes by Craig Davidson, Untitled by Charlie Yu, and Untitled by Julianna Baggott; but I think it's worth it to check out all the stories.
