A review by antrapp1026
The Best American Short Stories 1997, by Katrina Kenison, Annie Proulx, Eaton Hamilton
3.0
It ended on a very high note with Tim Gautreux’s funny and sad and keenly observed “Little Frogs in a Ditch,” but too many of these stories sunk under the weight of their authors’ pretensions for me to get really excited about them.
I read 2/3 of these stories way back when, in 2002, and the rest over the last couple of months. It seems like this edition’s editor, E. Annie Proulx, and I have slightly different taste.
