New American Short Stories 2: The Writers Select Their Own FavoritesGloria Norris For this collection of short stories, editor Norris has chosen works by some acknowledged masters such as Dubus, Helprin, Mason, Barthelme, and others. They choose their own favorites and explain their choice in a short essay, some only a paragraph long, some two pages, that follows each story. These brief glimpses into the writer's heart are as compelling as the 20 stories themselves. ISBN 0-452-26217-8 (pbk.): $9.95. |
