This highly Acclaimed collection of short stories by American
writers contains only the best literary art of the past four
decades. With a bias toward realism editors Raymond Carver and Tom
Jenks have selected fiction that "tells a story"-and tells it with
a masterful handling of language, situation, and insight.
But what is so special about this volume is that it mirrors our
age, our concerns, and our lives. Whether it's the end of a
marriage, as in Bobbie Ann Manson's ""Shiloh,"" or the struggle
with self-esteem and weight in Andre Dubus's" "The Fat Girl,"" the
36 works included her probe issues that give us that "shock of
recognition" that is the hallmark of great art--wonderful,
absorbing fiction that will be read and reread for decades to come.
