Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 480 pages. Published in 2021. Retrospective collection of great American short stories. The best such selection published so far in our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Second and Third Printings and the Softcover Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run by The Penguin Press as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents "The Penguin Book of The Modern American Short Story". Edited, idiosyncratically, comprehensively, and indispensably, by the estimable John Freeman. "A selection of the best contemporary American short fiction from 1970 to 2020, including such authors as Ursula K. LeGuin, Toni Cade Bambara, Jhumpa Lahiri, Sandra Cisneros, and Ted Chiang. New voices, forms, and mixtures of styles have brought this unique genre a thrilling burst of energy. Brings together a half century of powerful American short stories from all genres including - for the first time in a collection of this scale - science fiction, horror, and fantasy, placing writers such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Ken Liu, and Stephen King next to some beloved greats of the literary form: Raymond Carver, Grace Paley, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Denis Johnson. Often overlooked tales by Dorothy Allison, Percival Everett, and Charles Johnson will recast the shape and texture of today's enlarging atmosphere of literary dialogue. Tales by Tobias Wolff, George Saunders, and Lydia Davis rub shoulders with near-novellas by Susan Sontag and Andrew Holleran" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for collectors of American literature. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Second and Third Printings and the Softcover Edition. Copies available online have serious flaws or are in subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Some of the greatest American writers of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO "THE GRANTA BOOK OF THE AMERICAN SHORT STORY" TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1984877801. no.
