An anthology featuring contemporary masters of the short story around the globe, including Margaret Atwood, Salman Rushdie, Joyce Carol Oates, Martin Amis, and more
Following the immense success of The Art of the Tale, Daniel Halpern has assembled the next generation of short-story writers—those born after 1937—to create a companion volume, The Art of the Story. Attesting to the depth, range, and continued popularity of short fiction, this collection includes seventy-eight contributors from thirty-five countries. The Art of the Story combines the best of the established masters as well as the fresh, new voices of writers whose work has seldom been translated into English.

- The stories in this book are fantastic. I am no short story expert so I don't know whether the editor pulls from a wide variety of sources but it seemed to me he did. Often the stories were engaging and thought provoking, immersing the reader in the world they were creating. Stories like "Intimacy" by Hanif Kureishi, "The Immortals" by Martin Amis, "Wilderness Tips" by Margaret Atwood, "Pornography" by Ian McEwan, and "The Story of the Lizard Who Had the Habit of Dining on His Wives" by Eduardo Galeano are a few examples of how there is much more to many of these stories than first meets the eye. This book is definitely worth the read and I'd recommend it to anyone, whether you have a strong background in short stories or are new to the genre. My only complaint is that I would have liked to have seen more stories from non-Western writers, though there were a few in there.
- I belong to a short story book club that is currently using this book.
I love how the stories are from various places throughout the world. And while I recognize many of the authors, it's great to be introduced to new ones.
I highly recommend this book for short story lovers who want to broaden their horizons. - An excellent selection of short stories from around the world. The only problem for me was his not including the year the story was written or published . For me that would add to my understanding of the story's social or political context.
- Fantastic. Arrived in perfect condition. The book itself is great too!
- I purchased a new one while the book spine was severely ripped.
- Just what the teacher ordered...
- Some outstanding stories by Nathan Englander and Toni Cade Bambara and many recognized authors - definitely worth the money!
- My Book Club uses this book. Short stories from various authors and countries.
