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

3.0

There were many stories that I really loved, and make me want to go find other things by those writers; and then there are some duds. There's something for everyone though, and overall I enjoyed it more than not. Sagittarius (Greg Hrbek), Them Old Cowboy Songs (Annie Proulx), The Briefcase (Rebecca Makkai), The Anniversary Trip (Victoria Lancelotta), and Ostracon (Alex Rose) were among my favorites.

Now I'm thinking back and remembering that I liked a lot more of the stories than I am giving credit for...
