A review by vorpalblad
The Best American Short Stories 2008 by Heidi Pitlor, Salman Rushdie
4.0
Back to form. Standouts included "The Year of Silence," "Puppy" and "From the Desk of Daniel Varsky." Boyle is consistently good and I enjoy his short fiction more than his novel.
This year the forewords grabbed me with the interesting thoughts about what is "American" anymore. There are authors who have come from somewhere else to become American, or at least spend most of their time here. There are Americans now living other places. Are they still American? Just interesting.
