Short Stories

I'm needing a collection of short stories for a book club challenge and I was wondering if there were any on the 1001 list?

Last year I enjoyed Fictions.

Everything that Rises Must Converge fits the bill.

Short Stories
The Street of Crocodiles and Other Stories
Typical
The Burning Plain and Other Stories
Like Life
In a Glass Darkly
Everything That Rises Must Converge
Rashomon
Reasons to Live
Pricksongs & Descants: Fictions
This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen
Delta of Venus

Novellas/Connected Short Stories
In a Free State
Invisible Cities
Kitchen
The Things They Carried
The Adventures and Misadventures of Maqroll
The Museum of Unconditional Surrender
The Beggar Maid
Lives of Girls and Women
The New York Trilogy
I, Robot
The Thousand and One Nights

Everything that Rises would make a great discussion subject if this is for a book club. The New York Trilogy is another one I liked a lot, although you have to like metafictionality. And The Things they Carried isn't exactly a collection of short stories -- it's kind of a novel, but not. There are connections. But it is brilliant.
I didn't realize there were so many more than that! How have I read so few of these?

Unfortunately I need the book to be classified as 'short stories' so a lot of these don't work or I've already read them. I'll go through the others and see if there is one which would fit and I can get a copy of.

Thanks for the suggestions!

>5 annamorphic: Agree that Everything that Rises is a good collection of short stories, even if there is a similarity in the moral/themes.

>6 M1nks: If you want something very different, Pricksongs and Descants is a highly original collection of unrelated short stories (see post number 520 on my thread).

There's three individual Edgar Allan Poe short stories on the list, as well as The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, so any short story collection having those?

And indeed there are several books more that fall somewhere between connected short story series, short stories set in a frame story and a fragmented novel...

And Katherine Mansfield. The Garden Party is a short story but I think it's part of a larger collection so you could read the whole thing.

Unfortunately most of those I've either read already (K. Mansfield, EAP, Yellow Wallpaper, St of Crocs, I, Robot, In a glass darkly, 1001 Nights etc or they aren't classified as short stories. I'll try working my way down through your list Eliza and try and find something that fits the bill and I can get a copy of quickly.

Otherwise I guess I can just read something else :-)

There is an older thread with a list of the shorter works. You may have to back a long way to find it though.

How about After the Quake by Murakami?

Read that as well :-)
