| 1 | The Best American Mystery Stories 2014 | 2014 | Joseph Heller | Buy |
Joseph Heller’s anthology presence is limited, as he was primarily a novelist. His inclusion in The Best American Mystery Stories 2014, published fifteen years after his death, represents a posthumous recognition of his shorter fiction. The annual Best American anthology series is a respected venue for short fiction, and the inclusion speaks to lasting interest in Heller’s writing.
Heller’s reputation rests almost entirely on his novels, particularly Catch-22. His short fiction is a minor part of his output, and this anthology appearance is mainly of interest to completists or readers curious about how his satirical voice worked in shorter formats.
