National Short Story Month

 May is National Short Story Month.  There are many authors who have written in this literary form: Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Jack London, John Updike, Kate Chopin, and Flannery O'Connor, to name just a few.   One of my personal favorites is O. Henry (William Sydney Porter) with his poignant The gift of the Magi and the comical The ransom of Red Chief.  Waggoner Library has titles from all of these authors as well as many other short story writers.  This month why not check out what short stories Waggoner Library has to offer?  In the Catalog Search box you can type in a particular author or just the Subject "Short Stories."  Below are some sample titles:

The Norton Anthology of Short Fiction

Points of view: an anthology of short stories

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury

Short stories by Edgar Allan Poe

Nine stories by J.D. Salinger

Bernice bobs her hair and other stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald
