New Stories from the South 2004 : The Year's Best (New Stories from the South)

Rating:
Summary: A compilation of the year's eighteen best short stories
Review: Enthusiastically recommended reading, New Stories From The South: 2004 is knowledgeably compiled and expertly edited by Shannon Ravenel and a compilation of the year's eighteen best short stories. Ravenel (series editor of "The Best American Short Stories" for fourteen years and who inaugurated the "New Stories from the South" series in 1986) is uniquely qualified to assemble the best of southern storytelling and storytellers, thereby making them accessible to those who enjoy great literature throughout the country. From Edward P. Jones' A Rich Man, Ingrid Hill's Valor, to Brock Clarke's The Lolita School, to Bret Anthony Johnston's The Widow, these are true gems reflecting the phenomena of love in all its diverse variations and generations.
