5.0 out of 5 stars Eleven fine books in one volume, great reading & a bargain!, December 23, 2001
By K. Corn "reviewer" (Indianapolis,, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
The title of this one could be a bit misleading and confusing. More accurately described as 11 shorter books or novellas, this one is a treasure trove of fine writing by wonderful writers (William Styron, Eudora Welty, Philip Roth, Ernest J. Gaines, Stanley Elkin, Jane Smiley and more). Arranged so that there is at least one story from each decade since the 40's, this book offers a look at some of the finest writing out there - not only from today but from years past.
This book is a bargain as well. With the price of books being so high these days, if you tried to buy these 11 books separately, you'd be hard-pressed to find them all for a price anywhere near the cost of this volume. Lots of wonderful reading and a great price to boot make this one an easy pick.
