Edward B. Mitchell

I picked this up by chance at a book sale for twenty-five cents, and it's one of the best 20th century collections I've come across. It balances recognizable names (Kafka, Sartre, Camus) with more obscure writers (Luigi Pirandello, Ilse Aichinger). This book was a rare exception in which the folks at Norton took a chance. If you find a copy, don't hesitate to buy it. At 154 pages, it's a quick read.
