Synopsis:

A collection of the year's best short stories from American periodicals as chosen by Pulizer Prize author Geraldine Brooks.

Synopsis:

Edited by critically acclaimed, best-selling author Tom Perrotta, the stories in this year's collection serve as a provacative literary "antenna for what is going on in the world" (Chicago Tribune). The collection boasts great variety from "famous to first-timers, sifted from major magazines and little reviews, grand and little worlds" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), ensuring yet another rewarding, eduring edition of the oldest and best-selling Best American.
