Saki

I have the impression that Saki is not very much appreciated in the United States. Good. That means I can put into my debt many of you who are reading these words. Go and get an edition of this Edwardian master of the short story. Begin with, say, “Sredni Vashtar” or “The Lumber-Room” or “The Open Window.” Then see whether you can put the book down. --Christopher Hitchens, Where the Wild Things Are: The enduring, untamable appeal of Saki's short stories, The Atlantic, June 2008
