The latest issues of this long running collection of short stories does not disappoint.
Lots of ironic and unsuspecting endings in this year’s collection, lots of talented authors who know how to write stories that suck you in.
The quote of the entire book is in the story, “Further Interpretations of Real-Life Events” by Kevin Moffett.
“Talent realizes its limitations and gives up while incompetence keeps plugging away…”
I love it, because it is so true.
An interesting note is that a couple of the stories this year are about climate change in the near future and how it affects people.
If you love short stories or if you would like a sampling of great stories, this is the book. Also interesting is that there is a little bio on each author and the author says a little something about their story.
I rate the book 3.5 stars out of 5. I’ve bought it every year since the mid 1980’s and I’ve loved them all.
this is what I am reading on right now. I’ve gotten 2 of the stories read and have enjoyed this so far. Really liked the second story about the deaf lady who lives with her mother.
Hmmm – I tried to get last year’s on my Kindle, and it wasn’t available. I’ll check again this year. I’ve always enjoyed this compilation.
