Brief Encounters expands the vibrant field of shorts—as these sharply focused pieces have come to be known—with nearly eighty new selections: representing an impressive range of voices, perspectives, sensibilities and forms. From the rant to the rave, the meditation to the polemic, the confession to the valediction, this collection will enlarge your world.
"These are encounters you'll want to have, ones that transform you, the way all great writing does, by language plain and brilliant, seductive and honest, only these do it more quickly-usually with a single turn of the page. The book is a revolution in reading, one you will be happy to join, and the writers are all ones you want to see more of." -- Robert Shapard, editor of Sudden Fiction and Flash Fiction
