When choosing twelve short stories for this selection, I opted for the principle of pleasure – twelve stories that I’ve enjoyed so thoroughly they made me glad to be alive. Last autumn I ran a short story writing course and decided to read a story every day for three months in order to immerse myself in the form. I enjoyed myself so much I’m still doing it – I even write the title and author down in a nerdy little notebook. Some of the following stories are recent discoveries, others have been favourites for many years.
