Description:
For eighty-four years, the annual volumes of The Best American Short Stories have launched literary careers and showcased the most compelling stories of each year. With coeditor Katrina Kenison, John Updike has chosen stories from these volumes that have endured the test of time: masterworks by such writers as Sherwood Anderson, Katherine Anne Porter, Joyce Carol Oates, James Alan McPherson, Raymond Carver and scores of others. This audio edition features a wide variety of readers and stories; Updike reads several stories and his introduction, in which he explains, "(These) stories ... struck me as lively, beautiful, believable, and, in the human news they brought, important."
