Since its inception in 1915, the Best American series has become
the premier annual showcase for the country's finest short fiction
and nonfiction. For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from
hundreds of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred
outstanding works. That selection is pared down to twenty or so
very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a
leading writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped
make the Best American series the most respected -- and most
popular -- of its kind.
Lorrie Moore brings her keen eye for wit and surprise to the
volume, and The Best American Short Stories 2004 is an eclectic and
enthralling gathering of well-known voices and talented
up-and-comers. Here are stories that probe the biggest issues:
ambition, gender, romance, war. Here are funny and touching and
striking tales of a Spokane Indian, the estranged wife of an
Iranian immigrant, an American tutor in Bombay. In her introduction
Lorrie Moore writes, "The stories collected here impressed me with
their depth of knowledge and feeling of character, setting, and
situation . . . They spoke with amused intelligence, compassion,
and dispassion."
