Flash Fiction by Tom Hazuka
How short can a story be and still truly be a story? This volume of 75 very short fictions, none more than 750 words in length, demonstrates that less can be more. Here are short pieces by masters such as Raymond Carver, Margaret Atwood, and Tim O'Brien, as well as fiction by newer talents.
"In just a little more time than it will take you to read this paragraph you can sample any one of the seventy-two very short stories in this anthology of brilliant miniaturesSome of the selections have already become so-called 'modern classics,' while many others deserve to become much more widely known. You can space out your reading of these epiphanic delicacies over a week or even months. Dear Browswer, I have to confess, I gobbled them up in a day!" -- Alan Cheuse, National Public Radio
"Flash Fiction is fun. I loved the variety and surprise of these stories. They should spark great dinner conversation, class discussion, and perhaps inspire some marathon writers to sprint and see what happens." -- Jerome Stern, author of Making Shapely Fiction
"Flash Fiction is purely and simply a delight. Lots of stars are mustered here, but best of all for my money are the newer names and voices that speak well to and for the future." -- George Garrett, Henry Hoyns Professor of Creative Writing, University of Virginia
