Nice to see Lisa Moore mentioned a few times. How about D.R. MacDonald?
I think I will go revisit some of the stories on the list.

A couple of overlooked and splendid collections I'd recommend:
Andrea Barrett's Servants of the Map and Helen Simpson's Yeah Right Get a Life.

audio book makers rattling books here in newfoundland has a lot of short fiction in their small catalogue

I do like Tobias Wolff; his early story "Hunters in the Snow" cracks me up, but it's also worthwhile looking at his book This Boy's Life at the same time as his brother Geoff's memoir The Duke of Deception; one kid with mother, one kid with father. Another American fiction-nonfiction writer is David Quammen; his story "Walking Out" is amazing. I like Joyce's "The Dead" because my mother lived two doors down from that house on Usher's Island in Dublin. The house was in ruins, but is now an art gallery and you can step inside and see the stairs where Nora Barnacle stood and where Joyce's father stood and carved the goose.

In Pharoah's Army: Memories of a Lost War is good, too, but I think the best of his memoir stories is in the anthology about Carver - Carver Country(?) Sharing addiction stories on a road trip....

Don't know Quammen. I'll put him on the list.

On the short story

Ang Lee's adaptation of Proulx's masterful story is leading a revival of interest in the short story. Okay, I made that up. But the wee dear things are getting some good press.

The Irish short fiction writer Frank O'Connor once noted that the difference between the short story and the novel is "the difference between pure and applied storytelling". The short story is the adaptation of the primitive art of communicating experience by telling a tale. Walter Benjamin, in his essay The Storyteller, lamented the fall in value of experience, attributing it to dependence upon information as communication. Information, he says, "doesn't survive the moment in which it was new". Narrative achieves an amplitude that information lacks: it can live forever.

Does anyone know the name or author of this short story: It is about a seemingly perfect society with no crime, everyone is happy. But eventually it is revealed that the society's utopia is dependant upon the enslavement of a boy who is kept in a basement. The town beats him and uses him as an outlet for their agression so that their "real" life remains an utopia. My boyfriend read this in highschool and has been searching it out. His birthday is soon and I would love to surprise him with it. Thanks!

People think she has no perspective of what she is— the monster that is always lurking behind the false face she carries. A narcissistic pathological liar lies beneath the surface she creates. She tries to suffocate and slit the ripe wrists of her abomination of a soul Her demon steams upward from the hell of her pours, burdening those surrounding her-- Torturing, Shredding, Devouring their spirits.
Her mother, dejected in her methods of discipline, carries the weight of her daughter’s mediocrity Her disappointment loiters in her home She gives her burden the best she can offer Yet in return receives an arterial stabbing in her weakened heart She thanks her non-existent lord every day for her mother’s new child, a child that won’t disappoint her
Her father, a pig in his nature has vanished Hiding in a suburban cave, he starts a new life without his demonic spawn She tries to be happy for her father and his new perfect family Instead she twiddles her cold feet at night and cries as she digs her sharp nails into her thighs Pain is her outlet of relief
