"Single best anthology of short fiction I've run across. Mixes things up with lesser known masterpieces from literary giants and includes many worthy writers often ignored elsewhere."

"I'm so glad that my teacher of "Reading Like A Writer" chose this anthology of short stories for our class. I learned a ton about my own writing through analyzing craft techniques such as family, place, and dialogue, of other writers. This collection is now a night stand staple, which I can't wait to revisit time and time again."
