The Best American Short Stories 1968 Reviews
-
Overall, this is a great collection of short stories that offers a glimpse into (mostly) post-war American worldview. The first half of the collection appealed to me more, with superb stories from James Baldwin, James T. Farrell, Donald Gropman and Helen Hudson standing out as some favorites. Will have to check out the film version of "Who is Harry Kellerman and why is he saying those terrible things about me?" If you happen across a copy of this book, which I did cleaning out my grandmothers house, sit down with it and dive in.

Starts off with an excellent James Baldwin
