Flash Fiction: Very Short Stories BR 10708
edited by Thomas James and others
2 volumes
What these selections by Margaret Atwood, John Updike, and
seventy others have in common is their brevity--most
consisting of 250 to 750 words. One story breezes through a
couple's entire marriage from meeting to retirement. Others
are magical--a woman learns origami and turns all the
apologies she constantly receives into folded shapes. Strong
language and some descriptions of sex. Grade 1 braille.
1992.
