Cons: Are they the greatest American stories? Uh: No. Does Audible/AmazonScaresMe include these as free and “great” but not preface the casual use of racist and sexist language used throughout? Nope. Amazon can’t take a bathroom break so I’m guessing a thoughtful context foreword is out. Is it the same old lame old canon of long-dead, presumably straight (but, hey, probably not) white men? Yep. It’s boring, inaccurate, and just…no. Stephen Crane’s “I Want Life” is the best of the lot, in part because there are no female characters and the narrator does not, therefore, use a toddler-age falsetto for grown women’s voices. And it’s also just a riveting, brutal, minimalist innovation that still holds fast. Please note: casual use of highly racist language in that story, as well, and that should be discussed/considered.
Equivalent of dumpster diving: gross but free
