Editorials
Library Journal
The mystery of selection by editors of literary magazines is unmasked in this anthology containing 25 contemporary stories that appeared in literary magazines such as the Antioch Review, Iowa Review, and Threepenny Review. The anthology features a companion essay by the journals' editors wherein they explain their choices. The essays are valuable for their insight into the enigmatic editorial process and their discussion of general criteria, as well as specific reasons for each story's appearing in the anthology. The stories often reflect the taste of the editors; most are written by relatively unknown authors, and some are outstanding, such as "Sheets" by Beth Bosworth, published in Calyx. Brief biographies of the editors and authors are included. Highly recommended for humanities collections.-Janice Braun, Mills Coll., Oakland, Cal.Book Details
