Even the writers also agree that writing a short story is much harder that a novel. When you have loads of pages at your disposal, you can write and set the mood by developing character nuances and wraps it up with the satisfaction of creating the climax. However, short stories face the daunting phase in order to create an impact in order to hold the readers in a short span.

In order to celebrate his legacy of perfect short stories and his undeniable razor-sharp wit, I have collected few of the short storybooks from my bookshelf to read it again.

Click through these books from some literature’s greats and can also link with your very own favorite books!
A Good Man is Hard to Find,” by Flannery O’Connor
This one of the creations which stuck with me for quite a considerable time with a good reason and this is O’Connor’s probably most famous work. The Misfit in the book is among the most distressing serial killers and his tone on the contrary is so polite, providing the story, the story a terrifying and interesting conclusion that will leave a reader to re-examine the existence of the characters. Just read it out to re-examine.
“The School,” by Donald Barthelme
The book is pretty much perfect in almost all the way. Barthelme, known for his playful activities and modest style, we can imagine his caliber to shape to shape up the world perfectly. The author with this book has funny and absurd elements, even in the smallest of the things. It might the favorite story of the writer. Really a must-read!
“Signs and Symbols,” by Vladimir Nabokov
This one is another short story and personally I admire this story for its ability to turn every tiny detail into a pretentious disaster and as you will turn the leaves you will find Nabokov’s penned story all comprised with effortless grace and silver prose. The story is about a Jewish boy who tried to kill himself and has been sent to the mental hospital and the scene includes a visit of his parents and after seeing him they disperse. The story has elements of nature of insanity and predictability as stated by the title itself. The story proceeds with the signs and symbols of course.
Make your Sunday a little better by reading out these short stories and now you can even get them at your doorstep by just placing an order at online book store.
