New Short Story Collections

Just wanted to update the short story collections that should be on your horizon. In addition to the many I listed back in January, there are a couple of heavy-hitters coming out in Fall. First, Annie Proulx has a collection of more Wyoming stories coming out from Scriber in September: “Fine Just the Way It Is.” Second, and I don’t know how I missed seeing this before, but Will Self has a collection forthcoming in October called “The Undivided Self: Selected Stories”, but from the title of “selected” it seems just to be a compilation, without any new work. And the self-referential undivided self thing kind of reinforces that, too.

Lastly, there’s the collection “A Better Angel” by Chris Adrian coming out in August, about which I’ve already spread the word, but for which my excitement can hardly be contained. (Here is the title story in “The New Yorker.”)
