Yesterday, Paper Cuts, the New York Times’ lit blog, revealed that Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri’s new collection of stories, “Unaccustomed Earth,” will debut at the peak of the New York Times’ April 20 bestseller list.

For devotees of the short story, the success of Lahiri’s new collection is welcome news. John over at BookFox, curious to find the last short story collection to top the bestseller list, could only find Stephen King’s 2002 horror collection, “Everything’s Eventual,” and before that, James Finn Garner’s re-imagining of familiar fairy tales, “Politically Correct Bedtime Stories.”
