Matthew's review of The Best American Short Stories 1990
The Best American Short Stories 1990 (Best American Short Stories) by Richard Ford
This is my favorite Best American Short Stories. Two Richard Bausch stories. Denis Johnson's "Car-Crash While Hitchhiking." Millhauser's "Eisenheim the Illusionist." Lorrie Moore's "You're Ugly, Too." Two Alice Munro stories. "Typical" by the amazing Padgett Powell. Lore Segal and Joy Williams. Great stuff.
I really love the Segal story, "The Reverse Bug." It was the first thing I'd read by her, and there was, for me, something indescribably perfect about it. I don't really even want to analyze why. I prefer to let it just work on me.
