Most Australians have fallen in love with the short story at some time. Dazzlingly, painfully, comically, sadly, it has been the object of their heart's desire - and a gift to their readers.
'For those who love the short story, UQP's three-decade collection is the best anthology this year. Edited by the talented sister-act team of Marion Halligan and Rosanne Fitzgibbon, it is a must-have for every book-lover.'
Sandy McCutcheon, ABC Radio National's Australia Talks Books
'The Gift of Story presents an abundance of forms, modes and styles... As a bonus, the editor's introduction is exceptionally well-read and full of ideas.'
Mark Thomas, Canberra Times
'Startling juxtapositions... bright and almost dangerously jostling gifts.'
Jane Sullivan, Sunday Age
