BASS 2004, Take Two

Several of you have emailed to express interest in Lorrie Moore’s selections for Best American Short Stories 2004. Houghton Mifflin won’t have a complete table of contents until mid-June, and I’ll post it here as soon as I get the galley. But I can already tell you that, besides Mary Yukari Waters’ “Mirror Studies” (published in Zoetrope: All-Story), R.T. Smith’s “Docent” (which appeared in Missouri Review) also made the cut. Further Googling reveals that Angela Pneuman’s “All Saints’ Day” (Virginia Quarterly Review) and Trudy Lewis’ “Limestone Diner” (Meridian) may be honored in the volume.

Thanks to Charles for the Missouri Review link.
