But it is more than simply an anthology of short fiction, as it contains representative literature from all over the world, conveying the reader on thought-provoking journeys across continents, cultures and landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOne World Two \u003c\/i\u003eis even more ambitious than Volume One in its geographic scope, featuring twenty-one writers drawn from every continent. Most of the stories are unique to this volume, while others are appearing for the first time in English (Egypt's Mansoura Ez-Eldin and Brazil's Vanessa Barbara). The themes and writing styles are as richly diverse as their writers' origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection is built around a loose theme of building bridges. It is interested in the human condition as a dynamic central line linking individuals, cultures and experiences: east and west, north and south, and, perhaps most importantly, past, present and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book features established stars such as Edwidge Danticat (\u003ci\u003eBreath\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEyes\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMemory\u003c\/i\u003e), Viet Thanh Nguyen (\u003ci\u003eThe Sympathizer\u003c\/i\u003e) and Aminatta Forna (\u003ci\u003eThe Hired Man\u003c\/i\u003e) and authors who are steadily building a reputation such as Fan Wu, Ana Menéndez and Daniel Alarcon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order of appearance, the authors are: Yewande Omotoso, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Heidi North-Bailey, Ana Menéndez, Mathew Howard, Okwiri Oduor, Desiree Bailey, Vamba Sherif, Alice Melike Ulgezer, Daniel Alarcon, Mansoura Ez-Eldin, Aminatta Forna, Nahid Rachlin, Samuel Munene, Vanessa Barbara, Ret'sepile Makamane, Fan Wu, Olufemi Terry, Balli Kaur Jaswal, Chris Brazier, and Edwidge Danticat.
