Summary:
Author Meg Wolitzer guest edits the premier annual showcase for the country's finest short
fiction
. "If you know exactly what you are going to get from the experience of reading a story, you probably wouldn't go looking for it; you need, in order to be an open reader of
fiction
, to be willing. To cast a vote for what you love and then wait for the outcome," writes Meg Wolitzer in her introduction. The Best American Short Stories
2017
casts a vote for and celebrates all that is our country. Here you'll find a man with a boyfriend and a girlfriend, naval officers trapped on a submarine, a contestant on America's Funniest Home Videos, and a gay man desperate to be a father - unforgettable characters waiting for an outcome, burning with stories to tell. The stories chosen for this anthology were originally published between January 2016 and January
2017
