Have you tried "Best American Short stories?"
Its a 100 year old series that does a collection every year. Junot Diaz edited this years edition.
They also publish a "Best American" series for essays, comic books, etc.

I asked Remnick about the political stuff and he says he intends to ramp it up big time for the next four years at least. I think it's a shame. Of course they've always done politics there but it's becoming less of a general culture magazine and more political. I'm just tired of hearing about Trump, good or bad.

Well, if you want there is 100 years of backlog. There are editions edited by Raymond Carver, John Updike, and Margaret Atwood.
