Description: Like the venerable Best American Short Stories series (the 1983 volume of which Tyler and Ravenel edited together), each volume of New Stories from the South collects the best stories published in the previous year's magazines and literary journals. New Stories has been called "maybe the best annual story anthology around" (Kirkus Reviews) and "the collection others should use as a model" (The Charlotte Observer).

By inviting Anne Tyler to choose and introduce her favorite stories from New Stories from the South, 1986-1995, the series celebrates its first decade with fanfare and colors flying - not to mention the literary fireworks of twenty great short stories.
