The Norton book of American short stories
"...American short stories...tend to be conveyed through a tone of voice that the author invents for that particular story alone -- a first-person narration that reminds us of the oral tradition that lies behind all stories. This anthology recognizes that uniquely American trait in short fiction and preserves it in a collection that should delight readers for many years to come."
