F121. Norton’s newest flash anthology, Flash Fiction America, features seventy-three stories, all under 1,000 words, that build around the concept of the United States in contemporary times. In a country composed of an incredibly diverse range of people, places, beliefs, and experiences, how do we understand a distinctly American quality in today’s flash fiction?
