The Vintage Minis series launched in June 2017 as a collection of short themed books from Vintage’s backlist. Each volume gathers selected writing from a well-known author around a single subject, creating what the publisher called a “complete reading experience” in roughly 100 pages. The initial run included 20 titles, each priced at 3.50 pounds.
Contributors include Jeanette Winterson on love, Haruki Murakami on desire, Nigella Lawson on eating, Julian Barnes on death, Karl Ove Knausgaard on fatherhood, and Joseph Heller on work. The series draws from both fiction and non-fiction, pulling excerpts and passages that speak to each theme. For readers new to an author, the Minis provide a brief introduction, while fans will find familiar passages presented in a new context.
