'They were windows into emotions I had and hadn't had, into other settings and circumstances and observations and relationships.' Sittenfeld was met by the same feeling selecting the stories for this year's edition. The result is a striking and nuanced collection, bringing to life awkward college students, disgraced public figures, raunchy grandparents, and mystical godmothers. To read these stories is to experience the transporting joys of discovery and affirmation, and to realize that story writing in America continues to flourish"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Short stories, American. 650 0 $a Short stories, Canadian. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Canadian fiction $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Sittenfeld, Curtis, $e editor. 700 1 $a Pitlor, Heidi, $e editor. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Anderson, Selena, $d 1984- $t Godmother tea. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Boyle, T.
