This is a strange edition, by Boomer Books, that I ordered when, after 4 months, the complete works were not available. Neither the translator nor the cover artist(Paul Seurat) is credited, and the preface and introduction are not dated.
The stories themselves range from wonderful to sketchy, which may be a reflection of how much more shaped and polished (for better or for worse) contemporary American short stories now are. OR it may reflect the selection of stories. Having just read "Bel-Ami" (his splendid, finely worked novel, Oxford World's Classics), I wonder if the uneven nature of "Selected Stories" isn't due to selection process used by Boomer Books.
Incidentally Boomer Books (NOT large type-just above average-but for readers in their prime-they make a big point of this) is a great idea, but only IF the books they publish are also great.
