Jimmy's comments from the Short Story lovers group.

My favorite is Chekhov. Read the short story called "Enemies" in the book The Essential Tales of Chekhov. Most of his stories are more subtle than that one, but that's a great place to start and will really give you a sense of the devastating power of his stories.

Hey I just joined this group. Great topic. I wanted to mention Winesburg, Ohio but i see it has been mentioned.

Also wanted to mention: Sketches from a Hunter's Album: The Complete Edition (perhaps the earliest book in this genre? does anybody know?) I've not read it yet but I've always wanted to. I liked his novel Father's and Sons.
