For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from hundreds of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred and twenty outanding works. Twenty best pieces were selected by widely recognized writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected-and most popular-of its kind.  A wonderfully diverse collection, this year's Best American Short Stories travels from Hollywood to Hongkong, from the Jersy shore to Wales, considering the biggest issues: love, war, health, success. The book which was edited  by critically acclaimed, best selling authour Barbara Kingslover, highlighted exciting new voices as well as established masters of form, this year's collection is a testament to the good health of contemporary short fiction in this country
