HTML:The acclaimed author presents an anthology of "confrontational and at times confounding . . . stories to get lost in" by Colum McCann, Victor Lodato and others (Kirkus Reviews).
In his introduction to this one hundredth volume of the beloved Best American Short Stories, guest editor T. C. Boyle writes, "The Model T gave way to the Model A and to the Ferrari and the Prius . . . modernism to postmodernism and post-postmodernism. We advance. We progress. We move on.
