Short Cuts: Selected Stories

From "one of the great short story writers of our time" (The Philadelphia Inquirer)--nine stories and a poem that offer a searing portrait of American innocence and loss--and formed the basis for the film "Short Cuts" directed by Robert Altman.

With deadpan humor and enormous tenderness, this is the work of "one of the true contemporary masters" (The New York Review of Books).

Features stories from the collections Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?, Where I'm Calling From, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, and A New Path to the Waterfall; including an introduction by Robert Altman.
