"I sound like president giving a State of the Union, but in a way that is what these annual publications are: celebrations of an art form whose death, in online forms, has been greatly exaggerated."

A man fosters his brother's cat while the brother serves a prison sentence. A trash collection assembles a collection of discarded instruments banned by the government. These stories are indispensable explorations of grief, longing, and hope in a time when, as Greer Says, "more than ever, the realize the great necessity of art." The Best American Short Stories 2022 Includes Yohanca Delgado, Lauren Groff, Greg Jackson Elizabeth McCracken, Alice McDermott, Alix Ohlin Karen Russell, Héctor Tobar, Bryan Washington and others Book jacket., A collection of the year's best short stories, selected by Pulitzer Prize winner Andrew Sean Greer and series editor Heidi Pitlor. Andrew Sean Greer, "an exceptionally lovely writer, capable of mingling humor with sharp poignancy" (Washington Post), selects twenty stories out of thousands that represent the best examples of the form published the previous year.
