    Who are your favourite short story writers and books?
    Here's a few of mine:
    Raymond Carver - anything by him
    Tobias Wolf - Hunters in the Snow
    Amy Hempel - Collected Stories
    William Trevor - The Hill Bachelors
    Richard Ford - Rock Springs,Multitude of Sins
    Chekhov - all his stories are great and varied
    Charles Bukowski - The most beautiful girl in this town

    James Plunkett to me was always the leading Irish short story writer, but he never had much competition in the first place.
