100 ONE SENTENCE STORIES: STORIES OF EVERYDAY LIFE, INSIGNIFICANT YET BEAUTIFUL, CAN BE JUST AS POWERFUL AS THE EPIC TALES Short stories offer a concentrated dose of quality literary experience. They provide quick, accessible insights into the lives of other people, whether they're fictional or real. They can also be read quickly and easily, which is why they're especially popular among busy people who want to get in as much reading as possible without sacrificing quality. In addition to being great for getting more information in less time (and thus fitting into our fast-paced lives), short stories can also get into someone's head in ways that longer works can't—a fact borne out by the many instances where writers have published collections of their own fictional works over time. In effect, these writers have created their own little universes through which we can walk and explore. And that is exactly what we offer here.Show book
