  • Product Description

    All new, with more great writers than everâ??these tales told quickly offer pleasures long past their telling.

    Responding to Americaâ??s love affair with the short-short, editors Robert Shapard and James Thomas searched thousands of books and magazines to select these sixty storiesâ??each under 2,000 words, each with its own element of surprise, whether traditional, experimental, humorous, moving, or magical. In the process they discovered both new talents and a wealth of celebrated writers, such as Jorge Luis Arzola, Aimee Bender, Teolinda Gersâ??o, Romulus Linney, Yann Martel, Sam Shepard, and Tobias Wolff.

    Zdravka Evitmova conjures blood drops that cure any disease. Ian Frazier writes public relations for crows. Juan José Milás leads an amnesiac husband to an affair in the candlelit darkness of a cathedral with his wife.

    Students and lovers of literature take note: this is serious writing thatâ??s fun to read.
