Micro Fiction: An Anthology of Fifty Really Short Stories Paperback – August 17, 1996

All very cute stories, a short hour long read of a collection of short fictions. It's a great bathroom or beach read!

This is a very good book and a easy read

Great selection of stories

Most of the stories in this collection are rather esoteric.I'll comment on a few favorites, though:--"Wrong Channel" by Roberto Fernandez is about a Hispanic immigrant who confuses TB with TV.--"All This" by Joanne Avallon explains the cycle of child abuse in a single run-on sentence.--"Chickens" by Elaine Magarrell is about a yardful of chickens whose lives are prolonged by a supernatural entity of their own species.--"Waiting" by Peggy McNally is about a substitute teacher who finds it difficult to become engrossed in her work. Like "All This," the story is reduced to one compound-complex sentence.The entire book can be read in a few hours.

This was something I bought after my creative writing class. It's short, sweet, and to the point, but still makes an impact. I love it

Some tales are only scenes without plots. Seemed unfinished but with real possibilities. Let's see more.

These stories, though not always the top sellers actually are interesting to a degree. They do not hold you long but for what they are they are really pretty good. Never top sellers though.

I have read this book more than once, shared it with my family and they like it and I would recommend it to anyone who likes short stories...its easy to carry too
