"The Paris Review·Short Story Classroom" is a collection of short stories, all of which are from the famous American literary magazine "The Paris Review". In fact, in addition to interviews, "The Paris Review" itself is also a front-line international high-quality literary position. It has always insisted on publishing the world's top short stories, and has accumulated hundreds of exquisite literary works since its inception in 1953. In 2012, Lorraine Stein, then editor-in-chief of The Paris Review, invited twenty leading contemporary short story writers to select one short story published by the magazine and write a short review based on their own preferences and aesthetics. Later, Lorraine and Sadie Stein published these selected novels and short reviews together. The twenty short stories collected in this book are all different, with vastly different styles and lengths, and were published over a time span that is almost as long as the history of the magazine. But there is no doubt that they are all of extremely high quality and reflect the highest level and trend of contemporary short story creation from all aspects. The comments on these twenty novels also have their own purposes. Some provide a very concise and macro overview of the style and characteristics of the entire work, while others examine the sentences and wording of the text in a very detailed and specific manner. In short, readers will benefit a lot from this professional perspective of examining another author's work from the author's perspective.
