Kafka, Borges, Faulkner, Gogol, Conrad, O'Connor are some of my faves.

O. Henry deserves a mention too, and for all the shit Bradbury gets, his short stories are great ("Kaleidoscope" and "The Long Rain" are some of the best sci-fi ever written imo)

>>12080455

>themes spelled out

>>12080452
I could never get into Chekhov's short stories. They seem so foreign to me, I can't even begin to piece together what I'm supposed to take away. Is this just Chekhov? I had no trouble reading other famous Golden Age Russians, though the only other short story writer I read of them was Gogol. It's also been a few years, and I think I tried to read Chekhov before I read anyone else, so maybe I should it another go.

>>12080501
This. Flannery O'Connor is an unmitigated master on the level of Faulkner in her short stories. It's a shame she went so young, but then again her illness definitely exists heavily in her writing. People should read Wise Blood to realize how comic her writing is too, it really helped me get a better grasp on her short stories.

>>12080728
Tbh I think Borges is the best short story writer to ever do it.

>I can't even begin to piece together what I'm supposed to take away. Is this just Chekhov
The introduction in pic related helped me in that regard. I'm not sure if I could explain like he did, but part of the point is the subtle way he builds an image - or an impression (he compared the stories to impressionist painting in this regard) that's open to different interpretations. I wasn't quite aware of some of the implications of what was unsaid or the different ways you could look at some of the stories and characters until I read that.
Idk which stories you've read, but you can read it via googlebooks preview if you search for "paul debreczeny chekhov"
