This review is from: The Best American Short Stories, 1985 (Paperback)

It's hard to understand how people read these stories and can actually call them the year's best. Some of the stories make absolutely no sense at all to me and yet they got into this book. It is not only this book, but many of this series of books are the same way. Supposed good "stories" but they make no sense at all. I have a college education, but even that dosen't help me to understand most of the "stories."
