The Best American Short Stories 2007. Mariner Books, 2007
0618713484 Amazon Review Wonderfully eclectic, The Best American Short Stories 2007 collects stories by undeniable talents, both newcomers and favorites. These stories examine the turning points in life when we, as children or parents, siblings or friends or colleagues, must break certain rules in order to remain true to ourselves. In T.C. Boyle's heartbreaking "Balto," a 13-year-old girl provides devastating courtroom testimony in her alcoholic father's trial. Aryn Kyle's charming story "Allegiance" shows a young girl caught between her despairing British mother and motherly American father. In "The Bris," Eileen Pollack brilliantly writes of a son struggling to fulfill his filial obligations, even if this requires a breach of morality and religion. Kate Walbert's stunning "Do Something" portrays one mother's impassioned and revolutionary refusal to accept her son's death. And in Richard Russo's graceful "Horseman," an English professor comes to understand that plagiarism can reveal more about a student than original work. Questions for Best American Short Stories Series Editor Heidi Pitlor Each year's edition of the Best American Short Stories is edited by a prominent guest editor who makes the final selections for the collection--for 2007, it's Stephen King. But working alongside the guest editor is the series editor, who reads thousands and thousands of stories all year long and passes the best on to the guest editor. For years, Katrina Kenison held that one-of-a-kind role for the Best American Short Stories, but in 2007 she handed the reins over to Heidi Pitlor, a former editor at Houghton Mifflin and a novelist in her own right (her debut, The Birthdays, came out in 2006). We asked Pitlor a few questions about what many would consider a dream job. Amazon: Congratulations: you now have one of those jobs that must make people say to you, "Oh my goodness, you just sit around reading stories all day! What a life!" Please dispel all relevant myths. Pitlor: The key is to have young children. I have one-year-old twins, so I have yet to hear the question above. I used to imagine Katrina Kenison, the former series editor, swinging in a hammock on a sunny day (there was always a hammock in my mind, and always sunshine), lost in her short stories, the twitter of birds somewhere nearby, a bonbon in her hand. I can assure you that none of the above applies to my day-to-day life--and I'm guessing it didn't apply to hers. Reading this volume of fiction requires intense concentration, large amounts of coffee, total quiet, a babysitter for my kids, and sadly, no bonbons, at least not on a regular basis. Still, I have no complaints. I do love my job and being able to read this much. Amazon: Can you explain the process of selecting the best American short stories? What's your relationship as series editor with the year's guest editor (in this case, Stephen King)? Pitlor: Magazines that publish fiction send copies to me. Literary journals, mainstream magazines, you name it. I probably receive three to four magazines a day. Typically, I read all of this fiction--more specifically, the short stories (no novel excerpts allowed) written by Americans or those who have made the United States their home. I choose 120 that I think are the best, and pass them along to the year's guest editor. Stephen King wanted to read along with me, and so he went out and bought tons of magazines himself. We spoke quite often about what we'd read. But typically, I go off on my own for most of the year, pull the stories, and then work with the guest editor at the end of the year to help him or her choose the final twenty for the book. Amazon: You're a novelist as well as an editor. How do you read all these different (or depressingly similar) voices every day and keep your own voice strong when you sit down to imagine your own work? Pitlor: Good question! When I'm writing regularly--and I must admit that I need to get back to this--I try to write each day before I begin reading. Again, coffee plays a big role. I get up, take care of.

Lottridge, Celia Barker: MUSIC FOR THE TSAR OF THE SEA, Toronto ; Buffalo Groundwood Books 1998
ISBN: 0-88899-328-5 As New Condition

From School Library: Journal Grade 1-4-Sadko, a poor musician, catches the ear of the Tsar of the Sea with his beautiful playing. Years later, when he visits the Tsar's undersea kingdom and plays for him once more, the king's dancing makes the seas boil. In order to calm the water, the musician is told by Volkova, one of the Tsar's daughters, to break the strings of his instrument. When he asks to return to Novgorod for new ones, the ruler orders him to take Volkova along as a guarantee of his return. The girl is transformed into the Volkov River and Sadko spends the rest of his days sailing on it, playing his music. Lottridge's well-cadenced text would work well as a read-aloud or in a storytelling session. Unfortunately, the author does not include source notes, an omission that is difficult to excuse. Chan's full-page pastel drawings are vibrant and have a vigorous sense of movement. However, there are some minor inconsistencies in characterization; while the text repeatedly states that the Tsar's beard is green, the paintings depict it as brown. In another illustration, the awkward perspective used in drawing the Tsar causes most of his head to disappear. Aaron Shepard's The Sea King's Daughter (Atheneum, 1997) tells essentially the same story but emphasizes the romantic relationship between Sadko and the title character. In contrast, Lottridge downplays the romance. While this book conveys the power of this Russian folktale, it is not a first purchase. Hardcover 12.3 x 9.4 x 0.4 inches
