Short Short Stories (David & Redfern)

     Jack David and Jon Redfern. Short Short Stories. (1981) A text for senior high school or first year college, consisting of 40 very short stories (all under 4 pages, and most under 3) a few exercises and discussion questions, and an essay by Raymond Carver. The questions are very 80s; the stories are all interesting and most are excellent; and the essay by Carver is worth rereading. Borrowed from Jon, who found it in a yard sale or used book store, and so paid far less for it than it was worth. *** (2001)
