Genre: Fiction Grade: B Synopsis: This book is a collection of flash fiction stores, which are typically the shortest of the short stories. In the end, of course, subjectivity plays a part in reading. There is a quote from Grace Paley in the Editors' Note to James Thomas and Robert Shapard's Flash Fiction Forward: "When [a story] is very short--1, 2, 2 1/2 pages--[it] should be read like a poem. Note that if you type for 15 minutes every day and produce 250 words and work only on short fiction, by the end of a year you would have completed about 18 short stories of average length of 5,000 words. I have a confession to make: for the last four years I've been asking my short story students at City to write stories of exactly 100 words (“drabbles”) as an exercise, yet I rarely write flash fiction (under 1000 words) myself. Entire 200 stories that I read. Then there are the cousins and the bastard children born throughout Very much looking forward to reading your four fictions. Mother literature has four distinct children: the novel, stout, stable, liable to bagginess; the novella, a trimmed bush filled with promise; the short story, well-defined and knowing what it wants; and the poem, dreaming and dreading too much responsibility. Flash Fiction Forward collects a bunch of stories that only take a couple of page turns to finish. In essence, a flash fiction is a very short short story, the classic example being attributed to Ernest Hemingway: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” It also can be written in a flash.

And I really really liked about 75 or 80 of them, but I wanted to narrow the list down to as close to 50 as I could manage. I admire you for the challenge you've set yourself. Paraphrasing, because I forget the exact word he used, but he was basically horrified (he might have used “appalled” or “very scared” instead) at the thought that a writer would have so many submissions out at one time that the writer needed to track it.
