This book includes luminous stories, each told in a flash. This
extraordinary collection gathers short-short stories - none longer
than 1,800 words - by some of North Carolina's best contemporary
writers, including Russell Banks, Doris Betts, Orson Scott Card,
Fred Chappell, Sarah Dessen, Haven Kimmel, Robert Morgan, Lee
Smith, Elizabeth Spencer, and Daniel Wallace. The stories are
compulsively readable. The spellbinding elements of brevity,
variety, and surprise conspire to keep readers flipping pages.
Comic, tragic, magical, fantastical, provocative, disturbing,
luminous, the short-short form proves a reliably elastic and
dazzling medium for every writer featured. In one flash of literary
artistry after another, these sixty-five established and emerging
writers remind us why we read fiction: to laugh, to learn, to feel,
to be discomfited and challenged, to be transported, and to make
enlightening and enduring connections with the world outside our
own skins. ""Long Story Short"" will appeal to legions of fans who
already delight in reading many of the North Carolina authors
included here and will introduce them to extraordinary writers they
have not yet discovered.
