Micro Fiction: An Anthology of Fifty Really Short StoriesTwo to three thousand stories began to show up annually in Tallahassee, and National Public Radio regularly broadcast the winner. But, more important, the Micro form turned out to be contagious; stories of this "lack of length" now dot the literary magazines. The time seemed right, then, for this anthology, presenting a decade of contest winners and selected finalists. In addition, Stern commissioned Micros, persuading a roster of writers to accept
Two to three thousand stories began to show up annually in Tallahassee, and National Public Radio regularly broadcast the winner. But, more important, the Micro form turned out to be contagious; stories of this "lack of length" now dot the literary magazines. The time seemed right, then, for this anthology, presenting a decade of contest winners and selected finalists. In addition, Stern commissioned Micros, persuading a roster of writers to accept the challenge of completing a story in one page.
Jesse Lee Kercheval has a new spin on the sinking of the Titanic; Virgil Suarez sets his sights on the notorious Singapore caning; George Garrett conjures up a wondrous screen treatment pitch; and Antonya Nelson invites us into an eerie landscape. Verve and nerve and astonishing variety are here, with some wild denouements.
How short can a Micro be, you wonder. Look up Amy Hempel's contribution, and you'll see.

Great Product!
Format: Hardcover
We bought this for a 14 hour car ride!
It was a life saver kept our 4 year old and 6 year old nieces occupied. They love the stories and the illustrations in the book were beautiful.
The voice of the narrator is so much fun.
We would recommend for sure.
The price was really great as well.

Easy to use!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
We had a Spider-Man one for my son and he loved it so we got these princess ones for my daughter and she loves them. They’re nice because it tells you when to turn the page and push the next button to read the story so she can “read” to herself now.
