5.0 out of 5 stars Promising new writers
I found this to be an extremely enjoyable read. Here you plunge into the writings of young writers whose name rings no bell whatsoever, only to be refreshed and inspired by their "diamond-in-the-rough" talent. I can not think of a more fulfilling way to stay on top of the burgeoning crop of new fiction writers, and I am thankful for this opportunity.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Tremendous Bore
Of the hundreds of short story collections I have read, this is without a doubt the worst. The writing in this book is devoid of any style whatsoever. The stories are so lifeless that the words on the page actually look boring in of themselves.

This review is from: Scribners Best of the Fiction Workshops 1998 (Paperback)
Buy this book if only for Adam Marshall Johnson's "Your Own Backyard"--an astounding and astute look at the father/troubled son relationship. Also includes humorous offerings on your standard themes of sex and love. This is by far the best of the "Fiction Workshop" series. You'll keep this one under your bed and reread it when you're between books.
