Preface
When the editors of The Massachusetts Review were invited by the University of Massachusetts Press to collect fiction from a twenty-seven-year harvest, we asked ourselves what the criteria should be. The answer, reduced to essentials, was quality and diversity. These are the bases on which MR has always selected fiction, and we wanted the book to be representativenot to mention pleasingto serious readers of short stories.
It would have been pleasant to pass the summer months (when we do not ordinarily read fiction manuscripts) browsing through past issues, choosing our favorite stories, those that offered us, to paraphrase Robert Frost, delight and even wisdom. But we thought it more responsible to assign randomly sixteen or twenty issues each to ourselves and to our four veteran fiction readers: Corinne Demas Bliss, Joan Bramwell, Julia Demmin, and Charles Moran. By the end of the summer we had compiled a short list, which we proceeded, painfully, to reduce further, to a selection of 20 out of a total of 244 published stories.
The number of stories sent to MR is astonishing. We publish an average of only nine a year (figuring in special fiction sections), and receive some forty every week. Other journals and magazines could report similar statistics. We can only hope that the interest in reading short stories is as keen as the interest in writing them. Clearly we are in a high period of fiction writing, by people from all walks of life.
