Summary "The Best Short Stories of 1915 and the Yearbook of the American Short Story," edited by Edward J. O'Brien, is a collection of notable short fiction written in the early 20th century. This anthology compiles a selection of stories published during that year, celebrating the art and evolution of the American short story form. The book features a variety of authors and styles, highlighting the themes, cultural context, and narrative techniques that define this period in American literature. The opening portion of the anthology begins with a thoughtful introduction by the editor, O'Brien, who emphasizes the importance of the American short story and contrasts it with other literary traditions. O'Brien reflects on the evolving standards of storytelling, the contributions of various authors, and the impact of contemporary events on literature. The first story, "The Water-Hole" by Maxwell Struthers Burt, introduces the character Hardy, who is portrayed as a vivid and adventurous individual that captivates his friends with tales of his diverse experiences. Through a mix of discussions and personal anecdotes, the narrative sets the stage for themes of bravery, conscience, and the complexities of human relationships. This opening grants readers a glimpse into the narrative richness and emotional depth they can expect throughout the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
