A Journalist's 170 Favorite Short Stories - Page 4

This list is in order of my preferences, with Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" at number one. I tried to mix masterpieces by James Joyce and Raymond Carver with short stories like "Three-Ten to Yuma" and "An Alpine Divorce" that I found highly entertaining.
