The Collected Stories of Breece DJ Pancake
In Our Time Hemmingway
>>8197351
gogol's shorts, pushkin, borges, welcome to the monkey house by vonnegut... pleb shit really.
James Salter and Irwin Shaw were underrated short story writers, probably better known for their novels. I think Salter's collection was called Dusk and other stories and Shaw's was Sailor off the Bremen
I've gotten on a NYRB Classics kick this summer and this one has stood out. Super cozy read and I highly recommend reading this season.
I suppose it's technically vignettes with the same characters rather than separate, independent stories in a collection but I think it still fits

In the Heart of the Heart of the Country
After the Quake by Haruki Murakami is probably his most consistent work to date.
Maybe this is just assumed here, but don't forget Dubliners of course
>>8197351

Controlled Burn by Scott Wolven
Eleven Kinds of Lonelines
Liars in Love
Dubliners
Thirding basically any Raymond Carver collection but in particular Where I'm Calling From. Also Ficciones by Borges and Dubliners.
The Complete Works of HP Lovecraft
The Complete Stories of Ernest Hemingway
I much prefer Hemingway's short stories to his novels
Airships by Barry "Da Gawd" Hannah
Kipling, I'm not sure anyone matches him in writing about indians, hindus, buddhists, sikhs, and colonial brits in India.
Even Indians can't surpass kipling writing about their own people,kipling was that special kind of person born on both sides and able to appreciate and criticize both sides equally, maybe biased at times, but can you blame him, England brought modern civilization and technology and education to India among other things.
I envy him deeply and wish I could live in his time. His short stories are not to be overlooked.
