[EDIT: Now 11!]

Inspired by LK’s list of her ten favorite short stories, I’ve sought out ten of my current favorites. I say “current” because I know I’m forgetting some real doozies; I just can’t find them now to recall what they were. The list is in alphabetical order, because I can’t seem to play favorites beyond putting together this list:

• “The Bloody Chamber” by Angela Carter
• “Call My Name” by Aimee Bender
• “Civilwarland in Bad Decline” by George Saunders
• “Dirty Wedding” by Denis Johnson
• “Disentangling” by Peter Rock
• “Floating Bridge” by Alice Munro
• “The Hotel Capital” by Olga Tokarczuk
• “Planetisimal” by Keri Hulme
• “The Toughest Indian in the World” by Sherman Alexie
• “White Angel” by Michael Cunningham

• And, thanks to Susan, I remembered how much I absolutely love “Hunger” by Lan Samantha Chang—I won’t delete any of the favorites above, but “Hunger” would have surely made it on there, so this list has now hit 11 😉

LK also has a short story challenge. I’m up for it. I really want to read “The Babysitter” by Robert Coover.
