The moment I always revisit is the "interrupted a dinner party" for the Saunders' story. It's the way I feel after a great story. There should be many more dinner time interruptions! Thanks!

And then someone comes along and injects them with new life. And btw I would add Isaac Babel, Flannery O'Connor, Bernard Malamud, and Paul Bowles to that magic list of great short story-ites. good points all; all forms have people saying they’re dead – rock and roll, jazz, you name it.

I'm a huge fan of short stories--for adults, teens, and kids--and I was in heaven reading your praise of the form. Now I have to run out and read George Saunders.

I am one who celebrates the short story and I celebrate your post. Suffice to say that my coffee went cold, while I, flushed with excitement, laughter, and appreciation for all you've said, thoroughly enjoyed this caffeine-free moment.

The fact that I could finish it at 5 a.m. during the work week is a testament to the interest it held for me. Your article is witty, enlightening and just plain smart. In twenty minutes, you’ve managed to instill in me a desire to seek out new voices. I anticipate the day when one of them is yours. Claire, I greatly enjoyed reading this blog.

I particularly loved: "A Much Too Brief but Wondrous List of Brilliant Short StoryWriters Who Resisted the Pressure To Write a Novel." Ha! Great commentary, very erudite. Can't wait to read more from you. Claire: I loved the “beat ‘em at their own game” humor of this piece, which is both a great riposte and a love letter at the same time.
