The Best Small Fictions 2016 — Stuart Dybek

This second installment of The Best Small Fictions continues to celebrate the diversity and quality captured in fiction forms fewer than 1,000 words. Forty-five acclaimed and emerging writers-including Alberto Chimal, Toh EnJoe, Kathy Fish, Amelia Gray, Etgar Keret, R. O. Kwon, and Eliel Lucero-offer readers "some of the brightest concise writing available today" (NewPages). With spotlights on Texture Press and author Megan Giddings, the acclaimed new series, with its "finger on the pulse," succeeds in its aim to make something big from many small things.
