First Fiction: An Anthology of the First Published Stories by Famous Writers by Kathy Kiernan, Michael M. Moore

3.0

I've been working on this one for months, reading a story here, a story there. This is such an interesting idea - collecting the first published works of now famous authors. Some of these really stood out - James Baldwin's for example, Truman Capote's, Alice Munro. However, for the most part it was a struggle to get through, even with authors I know and love. Interesting to see where they started, but that also means you're usually sat reading their least developed work. Unfortunately, a lot of these were weak for me. Glad to have picked it up though, it introduced me to some new writers I'm interested to read more from as well.
