I skipped around, reading these out of order, thinking that I'd just skim through the stories that didn't grab me right away. But then they each grabbed me and I realized that the PEN/O. Henry stories are rich collections with diverse stories and writers. Jim Shepard's 'Boys Town', 'The Hare's Mask' by Mark Slouka, 'Kindness' by Yiyun Li and Millhauser's 'Phantoms' each haunt me still in their own ways. I can't wait to go back and read the past O. Henry collections at my library. Awesome short stories that capture the wonder of this written form.

I thought this picked up nicely after a rough start - detailed comments (with possible spoilers) on individual stories posted at A Just Recompense
