“These stories are not merely flashes in the pan; there’s pay dirt here!” -DeWitt Henry, editor of Ploughshares

Publisher Review

“Flash Fiction is purely and simply a delight. Lots of stars are mustered here, but best of all for my money are the newer names and voices that speak well to and for the future.” — George Garrett, Henry Hoyns Professor of Creative Writing, University of Virginia “Flash Fiction is fun. I loved the variety and surprise of these stories. They should spark great dinner conversation, class discussion, and perhaps inspire some marathon writers to sprint and see what happens.” — Jerome Stern, author of Making Shapely Fiction “In just a little more time than it will take you to read this paragraph you can sample any one of the seventy-two very short stories in this anthology of brilliant miniatures. Some of the selections have already become so-called ‘modern classics,’ while many others deserve to become much more widely known. You can space out your reading of these epiphanic delicacies over a week or even months. Dear Browswer, I have to confess, I gobbled them up in a day!” — Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio
