V. S. Pritchett, one our greatest short-story writers, has chosen forty-one stories written in the English language for this volume, producing a collection that successfully displays the wealth and variety of an art that spans some 200 years.Great Britain, America, and especially Eire have fine traditions of short-story writing that have developed from the time of Sir Walter Scott and Nathaniel Hawthorne, while in the last century the art was perfected by Ernest Hemingway, D. H. Lawrence, W. Somerset Maugham, John Updike, and V. S.Pritchett himself. The Irish contribution includes such masters as James Joyce, Frank O'Connor, and Liam O'Flaherty, and stories by Canadian, Indian, New Zealand, and Australian writers show the full range of invention and ability in a genre that continues to flourish.… (plus d'informations)
Currently reading, will update with individual story reviews as I complete them. I was going to do this in the private notes field, but I didn't realize it was character limited until I hit a wall, lol.
THE TWO DROVERS (Sir Walter Scott) 3 stars - I did end up liking it somewhat, but it was very hard to get into at the start.
THE BIRTHMARK (Nathaniel Hawthorne) 2 stars - Look, I get what he's doing in this story and the Message Behind It, but I just couldn't find either character likable, though I did feel very sorry for Georgiana. Also I just kind of don't like Hawthorne that much so maybe I'm biased.
THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER (Edgar Allan Poe) 5 stars - Love Poe, love this story. Definitely did not pick up the implications about the Usher family when I last read this probably more than a decade ago so that was certainly a shocker.
I have already read seven of these short stories - all of them are fantastic and represent many of the authors at the height of their storytelling power...[in progress] ( )
A collection of some forty short stories written in English, covering the period from the early 19th century to the present and drawing especially upon writers from Great Britain Ireland, and the United States.
