Short story collections
Collections of short fiction, where each piece stands on its own and one book can hold many worlds. Ted Chiang's Stories of Your Life and Others and Jorge Luis Borges's Ficciones are among the most admired, Stephen King's Different Seasons gathers four novellas including The Body, and George Saunders's CivilWarLand in Bad Decline shows his dark humour. Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad Together serves the youngest readers.
