Description: This is an extraordinarily strange book. The Best of the Short Story of the World features six classic short stories that have been translated into English from previous translations into other languages. The result is a sort of absurdist literary comedy, especially if you are familiar with the original stories. The stories are:1. Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Excellent Youth with Suntan" ("Young Goodman Brown") trans. from the Mandarin;2. Guy de Maupassant's "Choker" ("The Necklace") trans. from the Tagalog;3. Anton Chekhov's "Dog-Faced Woman" ("The Woman with the Dog") trans. from the Burmese;4. Franz Kafka's "The Paint Eater" ("The Hunger Artist") trans. from the Khmer;5. Ernest Hemingway's "Spic-and-Span Shiny Somewhere" ("A Clean Well-Lighted Place") trans. from the Kam-Muang; and6. Shirley Jackson's "Jackpot!" ("The Lottery") trans from the Lao.As I said, very, very strange.
