Although we’ve barely reached summer, 2009 has already proven to be a banner year for fans of the short story. Recently
A.O. Scott extolled the virtues of the American short story in the New York Times and
James Lasdun in the Guardian took a more global approach in praising the current crop of short story collections. In my opinion, this media coverage is well-deserved, but judge for yourself by checking out one of these fine collections that have all been released in the first six months of 2009:
Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned by Wells Tower
Love and Obstacles by Aleksander Hemon
The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimanda Ngozi Adichie
In Other Rooms, Other Wonders by Daniyal Mueenuddin
How It Ended by Jay McInerney
