I'll put in a strong second for this collection. My favorite, however, is "Everything That Rises Must Converge". She was also constantly refactoring her work.

I'll put in a strong second for this collection. My favorite, however, is "Everything That Rises Must Converge". She was also constantly refactoring her work. She rewrote, and rewrote, and rewrote. And ultimately produced some of the most remarkable stories ever written in English. Also fun - while she sets the bar for being crisp and clear and precise and economical, her Georgia accent was apparently so strong that her editor had trouble understanding her when they spoke. She's just the best.
