Answer:
The short story, says Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Steven Millhauser, has powers the novel only dreams of. "The novel is the Wal-Mart, the Incredible Hulk, the jumbo jet of literature," he wrote in his brilliant essay, The Ambition of the Short Story. "[And yet] the short story apologises for nothing. It exults in its shortness. It wants to be shorter still. It wants to be a single word. If it could find that word, if it could utter that syllable, the entire universe would blaze up out of it with a roar. That is the outrageous ambition of the short story, that is its deepest faith, that is the greatness of its smallness."
Many of history's finest fiction writers have tried their hand at the short story, and some are even best-known for their prowess at the form (defined, by the way, in the Oxford Dictionary as "a story with a fully developed theme but significantly shorter and less elaborate than a novel"): think of John Cheever, Katherine Mansfield and Tessa Hadley, all of whom appears on this list. Elsewhere, short stories offer newcomers to famous proponents of the novel an opportunity to tip their toe in a new writer's style, or else see a different side of them altogether: James Joyce, Carson McCullers and Ian McEwan are but three giants of literature below who can be accessed in a different way via their skills at short story writing.
Audiences, meanwhile, continue to show a huge appetite for the short story. Popular modern writers such as Lauren Groff, Daisy Johnson and Ottessa Moshfegh either cut their teeth or sharpen their skills as writers writing them, while in recent years there have even been viral short story hits such at 2017's ‘Cat Person’, a tale of digital romance gone wrong publishing in the New Yorker which captured the cultural zeitgeist and sparked conversations around the world.
So, without further ado, here are 50 of literature's greatest short stories to entertain, distract, reassure and inspire – just what a short story should do. Which is your favourite?
