Brief Encounters (by Vintage)

Brief Encounters is a new collection by Vintage, of short novels designed for readers looking for a single-sitting masterpiece. They include novellas and stories - including some hidden gems - from the literary greats. Organized in five themes/moods (the Rebels, the Seekers, the Lovers, the Weird, and the Timeless), these might be perfect if we're ever stuck in a reading rut and need a quick dose of good literature.
