aliterationmag: Wow, we asked you guys to come up with some of your favorite short stories, and boy did you deliver! We here at Aliteration decided to compile a list of all the works/comments you guys gave us so everyone out there can get some reading done!  “A Hunger Artist” by Franz Kafka “Tlon, Uqbar, Orbus Tertius”, by Borges. “A Perfect Day for Banana Fish” by JD Salinger Anything by Karen Russell (note not a story name literally anything Karen Russell has written, but hey maybe she can write a story called anything, someone talk to her about that) I agree with Ernest Hemingway. He can write a spankin’ story. “Run, Mourner, Run” - Randall Kenan Almost anything by Vonnegut or Bradbury, and most by Dick. “Pet Milk” by Stuart Dybek “Barn Burning” by Wililam Faulkner “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Gilman Perkins “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury “The Library of Babel”- Borges (wrinkled my mind) “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.  “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien, and “The Dead” by James Joyce “An Arrangement of Lights” by Nicole Krauss. “Style” by Tim O’Brien in The Things They Carried  “A Wall of Fire Rising” by Edwidge Danticat “The Garden Party” by Katherine Mansfield “The Bath” by Raymond Carver “The Sniper” Liam O’Flaherty “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury Got a great one that we missed?
