Description: In choosing the stories for the last volume of the century, guest editor Amy Tan found herself drawn to fiction that satisfied her appetite for the magic and mystery she once loved as a child, when she was addicted to fairy tales. The result is a vibrant collection in which truth and fantasy coexist in new works by writers such as Rick Bass, Annie Proulx, Lorrie Moore, Alice Munro, Junot Diaz, and Pain Houston, as well as in startlingly accomplished stories by new writers.
