Lawrence, W. Somerset Maugham, John Updike, and V.S. Pritchett himself. The Irish contribution includes such masters as James Joyce, Frank O'Conner, and Liam O'Flaherty, and stories by Canadian, Indian, New Zealand, and Austrailian writers show the full range of invention and ability in a genre that continues to flourish.Two drovers / Sir Walter Scott --Birthmark / Nathaniel Hawthorne --Fall of the House of Usher / Edgar Allan Poe --Celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras County / Mark Twain --Iliad of Sandy Bar / Bret Harte --Coup de grâce / Ambrose Bierce --Paste / Henry James --Thrawn Janet / Robert Louis Stevenson --Secret sharer / Joseph Conrad --Record of Badalia Herodsfoot / Rudyard Kipling --Telemachus, friend / O.
