The thirty-three stories in this generous and discerning volume prove that American short fiction may be our most distinctive national art form. As selected and introduced by Tobias Wolff, they also make up an alternate map of the United States, one that represents not just geography but narrative traditions, cultural heritage, and divergent approaches to the use of language. - Back cover.
