Description:
In choosing this years best American short stories, guest editor Amy Tan found herself drawn to fiction that satisfied her appetite for the magic and mystery she once loved as a child, when she was addicted to fairy tales. The result is a vibrant collection in which truth and fantasy coexist in new works by writers such as Rick Bass, Annie Proulx, Lorrie Moore, Alice Munro, Junot Diaz, and Pain Houston, as well as in startlingly accomplished stories by new writers. Here, in the last volume of the century; we see just how varied and far-reaching the American short story has become. In stories set in India, Africa, and the American West, in the wilds of nineteenth-century Canada, the Chinese provinces, and twentieth-century suburban American, this years's contributors explore themes both personal and universal, both contemporary and timeless. The Best American Short Stories is the only volume that annually offers the finest works chosen by a distinguished bestselling author.
