The short story is a barometer for the state and shape of
literature. New American Stories presents the boldest, most
innovative and most resonant fiction coming out of the American
literary scene. Ben Marcus, author of The Flame Alphabet and
Leaving the Sea, has here curated an anthology that gives the lay
of the literary land. From established masters of the form like Don
DeLillo and Lydia Davis to neoteric trailblazers such as Rebecca
Curtis and Rachel B. Glaser, this collection sees Marcus trying to
'prove that the distinctions we erect between styles and approaches
to fiction can be essentially meaningless'. The result is a
must-read, must-own volume for readers of literary fiction.
