The Best Australian Stories anthology brings together Australia's most striking literary talents and provides a platform for those unpublished gems. This year Stella Prize-winning author Charlotte Wood takes the helm, putting together yet another enchanting collection. '[The Best Australian Stories provide] an ongoing revelation of the richness and variety that Australian writers bring to the genre of the short story, a form so loose and so generous that almost anything can be attempted within its porous borders.' - Amanda Lohrey
