Features: This series includes six short story collections and one novella, written by authors such as Saul Bellow, John Cheever, John Updike, Raymond Carver, Donald Barthelme, Ann Beattie, and William Kennedy. Some of these writers are renowned literary giants, while others are rising stars of fiction in the 1980s. They include Nobel Prize laureates, as well as winners of the U.S. Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. Most of these collections were bestsellers in the United States, with some being named among the ten outstanding works of the 1980s by authoritative publications. This series primarily features short story collections by prominent writers still active in the literary scene in the 1980s, excluding works by earlier authors of the same genre. Some authors, though highly regarded in the U.S. literary world, were unable to find their short story collections published in the 1980s, and thus are omitted from this series.
