Contemporary Maine Fiction

More than an anthology, Contemporary Maine Fiction is a celebration of the quality and diversity of today's fiction writing in Maine. Editor Wesley McNair has assembled 14 short stories for the collection, several of which are being published for the first time. Among the contributors to this anthology are Pulitzer Prize winners Richard Russo and Richard Ford and best-selling novelist and National Book Award winner Stephen King. Contemporary Maine Fiction offers both a celebration of Maine's writers and the art of storytelling itself.

Short stories about life in Maine, both old-timers and those just visiting Maine (or from away). Well written and engaging. My favorites are, of course, those listed in the publishers' reviews as "other local writers"; Monica Wood, Cathie Pelletier, Lily King, Bill Roorbach, etc. Includes glimpses of Maine during the "other" ten months.
