/lit/, short story thread time.

What are the must read anthologies? Authors? Short stories?
What are your favorites?
Salinger has always been a favorite of mine

1) Ficciones by Borges
2) Dubliners by Joyce
3) to my knowledge Chekov's short stories weren't published as collections in his lifetime but his collected short stories

Those are pretty much "the essentials." My own tastes would include Alice Munro and Julio Cortazar and Italo Calvino though.

Is there a general consensus on this sort of thing? Any image guides?

Don't forget Dangerous Visions.
It might be sci fi, but it's really good.

Raymond Carver. One of America's best.

If you want to try a short story of his look up 'Cathedral'.
