Zoetrope: All-Story is an Americanliterary magazine that was launched in 1997[1] byFrancis Ford Coppola andAdrienne Brodeur.All-Story intends to publish new short fiction.Zoetrope: All-Story has received theNational Magazine Award for Fiction.[2]
The magazine has published first-time work byDavid Benioff,Adam Haslett,Pauls Toutonghi, andDaniyal Mueenuddin; published work by already emerging authorsChris Adrian,Ben Fountain,Miranda July,David Means, andKaren Russell; and published work by established authorsDon DeLillo,David Mamet,Gabriel García Márquez,Cynthia Ozick, andSalman Rushdie.[citation needed]
EachAll-Story issue includes a Classic Reprint. Alongside previously unpublished fiction and one-act plays, the Classic Reprint illustrates a piece of short fiction or drama that has been adapted to film or inspired a movie.Steven Millhauser's story "Eisenheim the Illusionist", which inspiredNeil Burger's 2006 filmThe Illusionist,Alice Munro's story "The Bear Came Over The Mountain", whichSarah Polley adapted into the filmAway From Her in 2006, and Wes Anderson's screenplay for the short filmHotel Chevalier in Winter 2007 are examples.
In addition, a guest designer constructs the quarterly's issues. SinceHelmut Newton was invited to design the magazine in 1998, artists (Wayne Thiebaud), musicians (David Bowie,Tom Waits andWill Oldham), actors (Dennis Hopper), and directors (Gus Van Sant andPeter Greenaway) have contributed to the magazine's visual aesthetic as guest designers.
Zoetrope: All-Story sponsors an annual writing contest for short fiction. The contest has been judged by writersJoyce Carol Oates,Colum McCann[3]Mary Gaitskill andTommy Orange.[4] The winner and finalists' stories are forwarded to leading literary agencies. The winning story is often published in an online supplement to the magazine.
Hosted byFrancis Ford Coppola's Blancaneaux Lodge in Belize,Zoetrope: All-Story runs an annual writing workshop. A small group of writers spend a week studying and writing under the tutelage of professional authors and the magazine's editor, Michael Ray.
