Doerr, A: Best American Short Stories 2019

BASS 2018 (Roxane Gay) A New York Times Bestseller " Skimm HQ looks forward to these every year, but this one's extra special. The 2018 edition is edited by Roxane Gay, who curates pieces that are timely and eye-opening." - TheSkimm " We congratulate all the writers included in this year's anthology; their work represents the importance of literature and writing at this fraught cultural moment." - The Rumpus " The stories included here are of a uniformly high quality, without a dud among them . . . As ever, a welcome portrait of the state of the art in contemporary short fiction writing, a literature of resistance." - Kirkus Reviews BASS 2017 "If you feel uneasy choosing just one author's collection, let a witty novelist pick the best stories of the year for you." -Nicole Y. Chung, The Washington Post "These stories might be about political dividing lines, fissures that are permanently open, but at their core, the majority of them are slices of beauty that simultaneously leave the reader fulfilled and wanting more."- PopMatters
