About this product

Product Information

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 the 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. This year's Best American Short Stories features a rich mix of voices, from both intriguing new writers and established masters of the form like Michael Chabon, Edwidge Danticat, Richard Ford, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Arthur Miller. The 2002 collection includes stories about everything from illicit love affairs to family, the immigrant experience and badly behaved children -- stories varied in subject but unified in their power and humanity. In the words of this year's guest editor, the best-selling author Sue Miller, "The American short story today [is] healthy and strong . . . These stories arrived in the nick of time . . . to teach me once more what we read fiction for."

American Short Stories
The Best American Short Stories collection has been around for a long time, and each year a different editor joins the ranks selecting their favorite short stories from the previous year. I am a short story writer myself, so I enjoy these books. However, good stories are left out each year, depending on the editors likes or dislikes, which determines how good the edition will be. This volume has some great stories, but I'm not a major Sue Miller fan, so it lacks greatness because of her taste in writing styles, though still good to add to the collection.
