| |  | | | From The Publisher
Since its inception in 1915, The Best American Short Stories series has grown steadily in both readership and reputation. Still the only anthology shaped each year by a different guest editor-always a preeminent master of the form-this is the essential yearbook of the American literary scene. Every new volume is both a showcase for contemporary American short fiction and a behind-the-scenes look at how these stories make the journey from conception to the printed page.
