About the Folio
A great short story is like a great song—it has the power to be an instant mood changer. My favorite story collections offer three things. One, the distinct pleasure of being immersed in multiple perspectives. Two, thoughtfully curated transitions: the lingering mood of one story affecting entry into the next. And three, the overall sense of discovery and progression—from the opener that sets the tone to a closer that resonates through the rest of the book, leaving you with an irrevocably altered set of eyes.
