Single Scene Short Stories
Edited by Margaret Bishop
The thirty-three works collected in Single Scene Short Stories each have one remarkable quality-the whole of the story takes place in one scene, one geographical coordinate, one window of time. To think of it dramatically, it is a story presented on a stage with no change of setting or costume, no voice-over summarizing or carrying the viewer from here to there. This collection contains some of the best single scene short stories ever written, the modern classics of this form.
Stories include:
House Hunting, Michael Chabon
The Daughter of Albion, Anton Chekhov
The Ninth in E Minor, Fred Busch
Crickets, Robert Olen Butler
Intimacy, Raymond Carver
The Nice Restaurant, Mary Gaitskill
Hills Like White Elephants, Ernest Hemingway
San Francisco, Amy Hempel
Eveline, James Joyce
Wine, Doris Lessing
A Ruse, Guy de Maupassant
In the Warehouse, Joyce Carol Oates
Revelation, Flannery O'Connor
Mrs. Carrington and Mrs. Crane, Dorothy Parker
Wants, Grace Paley
