The Best American Short Stories 2017 | Heidi Pitlor, Meg Wolitzer
11 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
"[A] terrific and surprising collection of tales by a diverse group of writers . . . Count on them to transport you." USA Today The Best American Short Stories 2017 will be edited by Meg Wolitzer, who is "almost crushingly insightful; she doesn't just mine the contemporary mind, she seems to invade it" (San Francisco Chronicle), making her the perfect person to helm this literary time capsule of a collection.

Mehso-so

Mollie is helping me review this short story collection. It was ok, a couple of great stories, a couple of duds and most in between. Glad I read it, even more glad it is off the #TBR pile. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2y

Short stories aren't really my thing. I picked this up at library because I was in between books and thought, why not. Some if the stories were great and others I didn't get into. Overall, i enjoyed the experience. The Sonya Larson story was among the best for me. As we're the Jess Walter's and T.C Boyle stories.

A print-on-demand short story dispenser! Every airport should have one of these. Brilliant!

Have never really been a short story reader but decided to give it a try and I really enjoyed it.

In "Are We Not Men?" T.C Boyle offers a snapshot of a commonplace man bumbling through a world with genetic modification on overdrive.
