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

5.0

All the short stories collected in this volume are phenomenal. Not a clunker in the batch. Some, like Rebecca Makkai's "The Briefcase", Richard Powers's "Modulation", and Alex Rose's "Ostracon", are breathtaking.

Now I just have to decide which "Best American" volume to read next!
