The New Yorker: A Speculative 20 Under 40

Rationale: In 1999 'The New Yorker' magazine selected the "best" 20 writers under age 40. How have the careers of those authors progressed in the intervening 20 years?
To get an impression of each writer's impact, I chose their most widely read work published since 1999, using Goodreads. (David Foster Wallace died in 2008.).
