Short Shorts: An Anthology of the Shortest Stories
Edited by Irving and liana Howe Godine, $12.95
A fine collection displaying various examples of this demanding form, including familiar tales of atmosphere [Hemingway's “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place”] and conflict [William Carlos Williams’ “The Use of Force”], with particular emphasis on siory-parables [by Kafka, Tolstoy and others] and work by lesser-known moderns and contemporaries [such as Giuseppe di Lampedusa, Varlam Shalamov and Luisa Valenzuela]. Though concision and immediacy are the preeminent qualities of these stories, several show how a realistic density can be worked into even very brief compass. The Howes have, furthermore, uncovered excellent unfamiliar stories by such eminences as Chekhov, Maupassant, Joyce and Sherwood Anderson. Every compulsive reader of short stories will want this book.
