4.9/5 (26063 ratings)

Description: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. But we are part of a tradition.” Boyle’s choices of stories reflect a vibrant range of characters, from a numb wife who feels alive only in the presence of violence to a new widower coming to terms with his sudden freedom, from a missing child to a champion speedboat racer. These stories will grab hold and surprise, which according to Boyle is “what the best fiction offers, and there was no shortage of such in this year’s selections.” Mulling over the question of character likability, series editor Heidi Pitlor asks, “Did I like these characters? I very much liked reading their stories, as did T. C. Boyle.” Here are characters who “are living, breathing people who screw up terribly and want and need and think uneasy thoughts.” The siege at Whale Cay / Megan Mayhew Bergman --Fingerprints / Justin Bigos --Happy endings / Kevin Canty --Moving on / Diane Cook --Bride / Julia Elliott --The big cat / Louise Erdrich --You'll apologize if you have to / Ben Fowlkes --The fugue / Arna Bontemps Hemenway --The largesse of the sea maiden / Denis Johnson --M & L / Sarah Kokernot --Jack, July / Victor Lodato --Sh'khol / Colum McCann --Thunderstruck / Elizabeth McCracken --Motherlode / Thomas McGuane --Madame Lazarus / Maile Meloy --Kavitha and Mustafa / Shobha Rao --About my aunt / Joan Silber --North / Aria Beth Sloss --Unsafe at any speed / Laura Lee Smith --Mr. Voice / Jess WalterWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
