Summary
This collection of thirty-six classic short stories from the fifties to the eighties features works by authors such as James Baldwin, Barry Hannah, Bernard Halamud, Flannery O'Connor, Philip Roth, Anne Beattie, and Tobias Wolff
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This highly Acclaimed collection of short stories by American writers contains only the best literary art of the past four decades. With a bias toward realism editors Raymond Carver and Tom Jenks have selected fiction that âtells a storyââand tells it with a masterful handling of language, situation, and insight.
But what is so special about this volume is that it mirrors our age, our concerns, and our lives. Whether itâs the end of a marriage, as in Bobbie Ann Mansonâs âShiloh,â or the struggle with self-esteem and weight in Andre Dubusâs âThe Fat Girl,â the 36 works included her probe issues that give us that âshock of recognitionâ that is the hallmark of great artâwonderful, absorbing fiction that will be read and reread for decades to come.
