Description

"The American Short Story is Thriving," Announces guest editor Andrew Sean Greer in his introduction. "I sound like president giving a State of the Union, but in a way that is what these annual publications are: celebrations of an art form whose death, in online forms, has been greatly exaggerated." The Best American Short Stories 2022 delivers twenty stories of incredible depth and range. Two lovers purchasing a couch throw the fate of their relationship into doubt. A man fosters his brother's cat while the brother serves a prison sentence. A trash collection assembles a collection of discarded instruments banned by the government. These stories are indispensable explorations of grief, longing, and hope in a time when, as Greer Says, "more than ever, the realize the great necessity of art." The Best American Short Stories 2022 Includes Yohanca Delgado, Lauren Groff, Greg Jackson Elizabeth McCracken, Alice McDermott, Alix Ohlin Karen Russell, Héctor Tobar, Bryan Washington and others Book jacket.
