Shannon Ravenel | The Best American Short Stories of The 80s
Edited by Shannon Ravenel, The Best American Short Stories of the Eighties brings together 21 outstanding stories that capture the remarkable vitality and diversity of American short fiction during the 1980s. Rather than representing a single literary movement, the anthology reveals a decade rich in experimentation, distinctive voices and strikingly different approaches to the short-story form.
The collection features an exceptional group of writers, including Raymond Carver, John Updike, Joyce Carol Oates, Ursula K. Le Guin, Alice Munro, Susan Sontag, Tim O’Brien, Paul Bowles, Russell Banks, Donald Barthelme and Cynthia Ozick. From intimate examinations of relationships and identity to inventive explorations of society, history and the imagination, these stories demonstrate the extraordinary range of late twentieth-century short fiction. Both an excellent introduction to the period and a rewarding collection for established readers of American literature, this volume captures a fascinating decade through some of its finest literary voices.
