The Best American Short Stories 2016
ByPublisher Description
"If the novel is our culture's favored literary form, upon which we heap all our desiccated literary laurels, if the novel is, say our Jaime Lannister, then the short story is our very own Tyrion: the disdained little brother, the perennial underdog. But what an underdog," writes Junot Diaz in his introduction to
.
From a Nigerian boy's friendship with his family's former houseboy to a sweatshop girl's experience as a sister wife, from love and murder on the frontier to a meltdown in the academe, these stories, for Diaz, have the economy and power to "break hearts bones vanities and cages."

“It's a "best" collection, so of course it's well done. The stories were emotionally raw and immediate, in a way that leaves you in desire. Some of them meandered a bit longer than I would have liked, but the scope and range of the collection are incredible.”
