Product Description
In The Oxford Book of American Short Stories, Joyce Carol Oates offers a sweeping survey of American short fiction, in a collection of fifty-nine tales that combines classic works with many `different, unexpected gems', and that invites readers to explore a wealth of important pieces by women and minority writers. The collection ranges from time-honoured works by Irving, Poe, and Hemingway, to modern classics by authors such as Bharati Mukherjee, Amy Tan, Alice Adams, David Leavitt, Bobbie Ann Mason, and Tim O'Brien.

Definitive collection of American short stories
Great collection spanning the whole of American short story writing. Great, fat book full of goodies, definitely worth having. Lots of lovely unknown stuff as well as more familiar works selected by the great Joyce Carol Oates.
