I think you're a prime candidate for:
Pushcart Prize The O. Henry Prize Stories Best American Short Stories Each year, each title puts out their top 20 literary shorts. PUSHCART is best bang for the buck because essays and poetry are in there too. Best quality too, I think. But all are a good way to discover new voices and to check out what old favs are up to. |

The Quiet American by Graham Greene
I want to re-read it this summer. Only reason I bring it up here.

sexist! anyway have you read jhumpa lahiri? the interpreter of maladies is a nice short story collection, and the namesake was a pretty good novel i though. you read only fiction? what about poetry? no poetry? o wait you said anne sexton... so yes? Quote:
this is good advice. also, you can tear off the men's pages & save space. |

YUUUUUUS, poetry too! gonna look into jhumpa lahiri right now and evollove, your recommendations sound really good, i am sure i will get at least one of the collections. and having all the pages full with the nonsense written by males is very practical. how else am I gonna keep warm at night if not with a fire?

if you like poetry i have elizabeth bishop in very high esteem. she had such a great tikiti takata tikiti takata ear for rhythm. plus, she wrote very well. you've read emily dickinson haven't you? haven't you? haven't you???????? and jorie graham is the current poetry boss, i think-- to paraphrase eliot, the queen of cats. anything by her, i suppose. and you know what, even in translation in any language of your choice: YOURCENAR. YOURCENAR. YOURCENAR. makes most other writers look insignificant. |

As much as it is a product of its time, I read it again a few years ago and it still holds up. She wrote another one, How to Save Your Own Life, which seems to have disappeared off the radar but if anything I might even prefer it over FoF. Can't go wrong with either though. And if it's a woman-only list, how about Kate Chopin's The Awakening? |

edna pontellier was emma bovary but she wasn't just derivative--chopin wrote it from a woman's point of view and that makes all the difference. speaking of early feministas, who wrote the yellow wallpaper? the pony has to read that. |

i've tried- i love pride and prejudice and emma, but prefer to watch (including clueless.)
i dunno, maybe it's the goth in me. i'm also making my way through some flannery o'connor short stories again.
