Few would disagree with Douglas'Grant's assertion, expressed in his introduction to this selection, that 'the American short story is one of the most distinct and important modern branches of the form'. These fourteen tales, each in its way significant and influential, have been chosen to provide a round introduction to the art and tradition of the short story as it was developed and extended in the hands of the Americans. --back cover
