A collection of the year's best short stories, selected by Pulitzer Prize winner Andrew Sean Greer and series editor Heidi Pitlor.
This volume gathers contemporary short stories that confront sudden reckoning, intimate crisis, and fragile connection. Lauren Groff follows a bruised mother fleeing an abusive policeman across country roads in an old Dodge.
An Istanbul alley yields discarded violins and cellos to a sanitation worker who secretly builds an attic orchestra. Héctor Tobar places a quiet mechanic inside a surreal detention center under a proxy-sentencing law.
Heidi Pitlor balances renowned masters with inventive new talents to document an unsettled landscape. Andrew Sean Greer, "an exceptionally lovely writer, capable of mingling humor with sharp poignancy" (Washington Post), selects twenty stories out of thousands that represent the best examples of the form published the previous year.
- Dual Timeline: A mother navigates two parallel realities over a decade, balancing domestic routine against an imagined romance with a fellow parent who chews cinnamon toothpicks.
- Small Town Setting: Two women cross by ferry to Lake Michigan's Sugar Island to haul an antique 1908 green velvet camelback couch from an eccentric's home.
- Multiple POV: Father and daughter trespass across a wildfire-scorched landscape to track extinct Vaux's swifts descending into an abandoned school's brick chimney.
- Forced Proximity: Two former lovers isolate in a Brooklyn apartment through spiking fevers, reevaluating their intimacy as a virus strips the surrounding city of flavor.
- Also by This Author: The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells.
