Book Reviews of Continental Short Stories: The Modern Tradition
Book Review: An Excellent if Short Collection that Needs to be Reissued
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used this volume in teaching a class that explores issues of law, justice and morality in literature. The stories by Aichinger, Camus and Boll in particular are useful, and allow me to get the class quick feedback before we read a longer text. I agree with the other review that it could be longer, and if the editors could bring it out again with a few new stories, without making it unwieldy like a "Norton Anthology", I think it would be useful and successful. The goal is to keep it affordable and useful for teaching, and I have not found a single volume that contains these three stories that I want to use elsewhere.
