American Fiction, Volume 12

"Particularly fine scene-making, evocative American cultural and cinematic talent in fiction. . . . More than a third of the stories are written by immigrants or children of recent immigrants, which reflects what America is—not only itself, but also the world with its currents and peregrinations."—Josip Novakovich, April Fool’s Day

American Fiction is an anthology of quintessential American stories and poignant multicultural tales, brilliantly rendered by a diverse array of talented writers, exhibiting the vitality and intelligence of the short story form—powerful stories told in compelling voices by some of our brightest new literary stars.
