Customer Reviews

A complete steal!

Some of the best American writers got a boost here. I found the stories great in and of themselves, but it also led me to try out novels of the best authors. (I've lost my copy--perhaps another reviewer can leave a list?) A rare find, and a real bargain.

How to Meet Twenty Remarkable Authors

I've lost my first copy, because it's been loaned out innumerable times. Finely crafted writing (after all, Tobias Wolff was one of the judges), a broad variety of styles--all surprisingly accessible. My favorites include Tony Earley, Mona Simpson, and Sherman Alexie. This volume has been a great springboard for further browsing adventures in the fiction section.
