Powers has published a short story, "To the Measures Fall," in the October 18, 2010 issue of "The New Yorker." It's his first in the magazine since February 1988, when an excerpt from the upcoming Prisoner's Dilemma made it into the august pages.

Dear Mr. Powers,
Your story ambushed me at lunch in the same way the book ambushed its heroine. I laughed and almost cried at how well you'd stolen my life. Bravo!

ps. as a rule I hate short stories.
Such a wonderful, wonderful short story. Beautifully structured, superbly written.
Rather embarrassingly, it reduced me to tears on an inter-continental flight during the week! It's immediately up there with my previous favourite short story ever ("Lantern Lecture", by Adam Mars-Jones).
Off to find your other writing on Amazon...
And thank you once again.
