"To you, perhaps, the remains of a picnic dropped somewhere in the woods doesn't mean much. But a mess is a mess, and to the people in Mushroom Center, this mess was a disaster." Such is the plight of The Mushroom Center Disaster when Beetle and his friends find a plan to turn bad fortune into progress. The important issues of littering and recycling, as well as cooperative community-building are illuminated by Bodecker and Blegvad's rare imagination, their glorious sense of both the absurd and the just, and firsthand knowledge of country living.

The Mushroom Center Disaster

"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.
