The Snows of Kilimanjaro...This took me a while ...<br /><br />The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway (1936)<br />The Aleph and Other Stories by Jorge Luis Borges (1949)<br />The Enormous Radio and Other Stories by John Cheever (1953)<br />Eleven Kinds of Loneliness by Richard Yates (1962) <br />A Friend of Kafka and Other Stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer (1970)<br />Amateurs by Donald Barthelme (1976)<br />Cathedral by Raymond Carver (1984)<br />Rock Springs by Richard Ford (1987)<br />The Knife Thrower by Steven Millhauser (1998)<br />Birds of America by Lorrie Moore (1999)<br />The Shell Collector by Anthony Doerr (2003)<br />Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned by Wells Tower (2009) … maybe I’m picking it because it’s fresh in my mind, but it really was an amazing read.<br /><br />I don’t think there are any true novellas in there. My shameless favoritism of the last four decades must show how young I am.Ravi Manglahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084895750529245159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9168324888232662745.post-46739405043313936222009-05-16T09:48:00.000-07:002009-05-16T09:48:00.000-07:00that's great you'll be on Ravi's site.that's great you'll be on Ravi's site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
