"Richard Ford, who is among the finest of American novelists and short-story writers, edits and introduces this volume. First published by Granta Books in 1992, it became the definitive anthology of American short fiction written in the last half of the twentieth century--an 'exemplary choice' in the words of the Washington Post--with stories by writers such as Eudora Welty, John Cheever and Raymond Carver (and forty others) demonstrating how much memorable power can lie in the briefest narration. Along with The New Granta Book of the American Short Story [my listing RUB2624] o/w known as Volume 2, this book constitutes an important reflection and judgement of recent American writing--as well as the superb pleasure yielded by the stories themselves." [publisher copy] "Ford's introduction is as complete and persuasive an introduction to post-war American writing as one could hope for."--The Times. "An indispensable volume. . . a colossal book that contains not only classics by the greats but also perfect stories by lesser known writers."--Philip Hensher. Fine & pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine; quite presentable.

"In 1992 Richard Ford edited and introduced the first Granta Book of the American Short Story. It became the definitive anthology of American short fiction written in the last half of the twentieth century--an 'exemplary choice' in the words of the Washington Post--with pieces by writers such as Eudora Welty, John Cheever and Raymond Carver (and forty others) demonstrating the story form at its most enjoyable and powerful. [] In the fifteen years since, Ford has been reading new stories and re-reading old ones. The result is this completely new collection. Again of more than forty writers, it expands Ford's original choice to include stories that he regretted overlooking the first time around as well as many by a new generation of writers, among them Sherman Alexie, Junot Diaz, Deborah Eisenberg, Barry Hannah, Denis Johnson, Jhumpa Lahiri, Lorrie Moore and George Saunders. [] Once again, the introduction is an illuminating exposition of how a good story is made, written by a master of the craft. And, once again, the stories themselves yield superb pleasure."
