Short-story anthologies are always welcome, particularly in these days of the renaissance of the form. Halpern, editor of the esteemed literary journal Antaeus, has gathered more than 80 examples of this refined literary art as practiced since World War II. What makes this anthology so unique is its scope not only are traditional approaches matched with experimental ones, but the geographical range is marvelous. U.S. and European short-story writers appear, of course, but the Third World is heavily represented as well. By and large, these are writers and/or works not readily available elsewhere but that definitely deserve to be. Arrangement of the tales is alphabetical by author, from Nigeria's Chinua Achebe to America's Richard Yates. BH. [OCLC] 86-5481

Halpern arbitrarily limits his selections to the past 40 years, then throws over them an ``international umbrella.'' Though many of his choices have valueincluding classics by Cheever, Camus, Pritchett, Robbe-Grillet, Moravia, Greene, Borges, Garcia Marquez, and Nabokovthe United States is disproportionately represented, claiming 32 authors of the total 81, and there is only token representation of writers from such countries as Nigeria, Japan, Poland, Peru, Egypt, Spain, India, Denmark, and Israel. Halpern states that he read ``the work of more than a hundred story writers.'' Such a minimal scope is inadequate for a bona fide international anthology, and consequently the collection lacks decisive thematic proportion and editorial purpose. Glenn O.
