Just an Ordinary Day: The Uncollected Stories Of Shirley Jackson
Shirley Jackson
Bantam
, 1997
The Real Shirley Jackson
There has been tons of controversy over this book about whether or not is should have been published. My personal opinion is that is should not have been published because these stories were private stories and were not published for a reason. However, now it has ...
Slippage: Previously Uncollected, Precariously Poised Stories
Harlan Ellison
Mariner Books
, 1998
A masterpiece
I've been a fan of Harlan ever since first learning of him back in the early 90s. I picked up one of his story collections....and then another, and another, until now I've read just about all of them. I truly believe that when it's all said and done, Ellison will be ...
Uncollected Poems: Bilingual Edition
Rainer Maria Rilke
North Point Press
, 1997
Poetry Transcending Borders
Edward Snow's translations of Rilke are always beautiful. As a non-German speaker, I don't have the luxury of commenting on the purity of the translation, but having had the opportunity to compare Snow's translation of Duino Elegies to an older textbook version, I ...
A Room Called Remember: Uncollected Pieces
Frederick Buechner

Intelligent, Literary and Powerful
This is a wonderful collection of essays and sermons from a novelist and theologian who doesn't check his intellect or doubts when he steps into a pulpit. Which makes him credible to skeptics like me who are struggling back toward the faith of their childhood. In my ...

Edmund Wilson
Library of America
, 2007
Edmund Wilson was the dominant American literary critic from the 1920s until his death in 1972, but he was also far more than that: a chronicler of his times, a historian of ideas, a probing observer of himself and of the society around him. With this volume and a companion volume devoted to the 30s and 40s--the first two entries in what will be a ...
Bagombo Snuff Box: Uncollected Short Fiction
Kurt Vonnegut
Berkley Trade
, 2000
Vonnegut
I discovered Vonnegut when I was around 12 or 13. I instantly fell in love with every single one of his books I could get my hands on. And after all these years he is still one of my favorite authors. And this book of short stories is wonderful, especially if you are ...

Edmund Wilson
Library of America
, 2007
I do not pretend that my judgments are anything other than mysterious emotional responses
This first volume of an LoA edition of E.Wilson collects reviews and literary essays on and from the 20s and 30s. I think they should be required reading for all Amazonian amateur reviewers. Not that I always agree with everything that he had to say. He was a snob, no ...

Raymond Carver
Vintage

Carver for friends
Try to rate a Carver short stories collection is like trying to rate your father actions. You just can't judge him, you only can stare at him. You can even try to understand him, but you don't really have to. There is something beautiful and small hidden in every ...

The Culture of "Inclusiveness"
While I was growing up in Chicago, one of my greatest pleasures was listening to classical music while reading the latest selection from the Readers' Subscription Club to which I belonged. That was almost 50 years ago (!) and yet how vividly I recall pouring over brief ...
