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.
