Lately, I've been reading short stories from The Best American Short Stories Anthologies and the O. Henry Award Anthologies. I have managed to buy random volumes, and I was wondering if maybe someone wanted to discuss short stories in either Best American Short Stories 2008, edited by Salman Rushdie, or The Best Short Stories of the Century edited by John Updike.
I really have had no interest in literature up until lately, and was hoping other members could help me start thinking about literature in new ways, and decide what some of these stories mean.
Anyway, right now I just started the third story in The Best Short Stories of the Century, A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell.
