About “The Best American Short Stories 2013”
The Best American Short Stories 2013 is a collection edited by Heidi Pitlor and guest editor Elizabeth Strout. In her introduction, Strout explained that she selected stories based on "voice" rather than subject matter. She emphasized that a strong voice gives a story authority and suggests the writer's confidence. Strout noted that readers may not analyze this quality, but they feel it as they read. The selection process focused on the writer's ability to maintain this sense of authority throughout the story. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
