A review by lyndseyreader
The Best American Short Stories 2009 by Heidi Pitlor, Alice Sebold

3.0

This was perfect end-of-the-year reading. I could read a story, set down my book, and not worry about keeping up with plot or characters until the next time I picked it up again.

My favorite stories from this collection are Beyond the Pale by Joseph Epstein and The Briefcase by Rebecca Makkai.
