Edited by Jerome Stern, a former Florida State University professor of English and popular culture, this is a fun collection of very short short stories (most with fewer than 250 words). These stories are culled from the thousands submitted to a short story contest that Stern oversaw for many years. Although short stories aren't my favorite form of fiction, I really enjoyed many of these. Some are funny, some sad, and some made me wonder what they were supposed to be about. Wha?
Jerome Stern is also known for his short essays that he read on NPR published as Radios: Short takes on life and culture, which I read a few weeks ago.
