A review by arcuysnn
The Scribner Anthology of Contemporary Short Fiction: Fifty North American Stories Since 1970, by Lex Williford, Michael Martone

3.0

I read most of the stories in here. Many are not exactly my thing, but I appreciate the effort to collect stories that often left me thinking, rather than ones that were just there because they exemplify an element of craft used well. Also, I thought that having a wider array of genre stories (not just weird/paranormal urban fantasy) would make the collection better.

Some favorites: Sea Oak, Stone Animals, Orientation
