Description
This collection offers twenty-one stories from the literature of America, a nation which has always been particularly at home in this form, and which has produced many of its masters.
Some of the stories included — those by Poe, James and Hemingway for example — are already widely known. Some will be less familiar to the English reader. Taken as a whole, The Penguin Book of American Short Stories is an excellent and entertaining introduction to the rich diversity of pleasures that the American short story at its best can offer.
