The Best American Short Stories 1990, a volume in The Best American Short Stories series, was edited by Shannon Ravenel and by guest editor Richard Ford.[1]
In a review appearing in Kirkus Reviews the volume was said to include a "fair sampling of what's happening in American fiction today," while also criticizing the editorial choice of stories appearing elsewhere in the same year and the inclusion of two stories each by two writers.[2] In the Publishers Weekly review it was noted that "the volume's prevailing themes [are] of modern angst."[3]
