THE BEST SHORT STORIES OF 1928 AND THE YEARBOOK OF THE AMERICAN SHORT STORY. Edited by Edward J. O'Brien. Dodd Mead & Co. New York. 1928. $2.50.

By R. R., December 8, 1928

THE annual collection of best short stories edited by Mr. Edward J. O'Brien for the last fourteen years no longer needs a reviewer's praise. It has arrived, so to speak, and looking to the future, let us hope it is here to stay. Previous issues have been so well thought of that they have found their way into the college short story writing courses where examples of the best are desirable.

This collection is a group of twenty stories which have appeared in American magazines from August 1927 to June 1928. The list of authors is made up of men and women reasonably well known and include Katherine Brush, Frederick Brennan, Fannie Hurst, Irwin Cobb, Louis Bromfield and Dorothy Parker.
