"To read their stories felt to me the way I suspect other people feel hearing jazz for the first time," recalls Curtis Sittenfeld of her initial encounter with the&nbsp;Best American Short Stories&nbsp;series. "They were windows into emotions I had and hadn't had, into other settings and circumstances and observations and relationships." Decades later, Sittenfeld was met by the same feeling selecting the stories for this year's edition. The result is a striking and nuanced collection, bringing to life awkward college students, disgraced public figures, raunchy grandparents, and mystical godmothers. To read these stories is to experience the transporting joys of discovery and affirmation, and to realize that story writing in America continues to flourish.&nbsp; THE BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES 2020&nbsp;INCLUDES&nbsp;T.

The Girls

Chatto&Windus

The Girls is a brilliant and intensely consuming novel imposing not just for a writer so young but for any writer time Richard Ford

Summer is coming to a close on Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome.\nA misstep at a dinner party, and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city.\nWith few resources and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways and sun-blasted dunes of a rarified world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to the end of the holidays moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake.
