Several years ago, I picked up a McSweeny's edited by Michael Chabon that promised good, old-fashioned stories with plots. Sure enough, the genre writers (Stephen King, Elmore Leonard, et al) came through, but the literary guys proved incapable of writing a plotted story. While half the stories failed, Chabon's intro, where he discusses the lack of plot in literary stories, is worth the price of admission.
