Description
Richard Ford, who is among the finest of American novelists and short story writers, edits and introduces this volume. First published by Granta in 1992, it became the definitive anthology of American short fiction written in the last half of the twentieth century--with stories by writers such as Eudora Welty, John Cheever, and Raymond Carver (and forty others), demonstrating how much memorable power can exist within the briefest narration. Along with The Granta Book of the American Short Story: Volume 2, this book constitutes an important reflection on recent American writing, and brims with the rich, deep pleasures of reading the stories themselves.
