Prescott claims that his journal is a documentary of a life style of his time, and thereby assumes a social importance beyond that which it possessed intrinsically, but it isn't and it doesn't.

Prescott presents a top-knotch selection of short stories from the 19th through the 20th centuries, when the art was in its heyday.
My decision to offer the Prescott volume in a recent class provided me and my students access to stories we wouldn't ordinarily see in books specifically intended to be read in literature classes.
Still, Prescott's anthology contains many enjoyable works; in my opinion, Elkin's "A Poetics for Bullies" alone should make any reader glad to have picked up this book.

With equally strong contributions from Roger Miller, Clint Conley and Peter Prescott, 'The Obliterati', while having the odd melodic moment or 2 dozen, is as relentless and engulfing an album as we've heard since...well, since Burma's 'Vs.' some 24 years ago.
The trio of Roger Miller (guitar, vocals), Clint Conley (bass, vocals) and Peter Prescott (drums, vocals) (augmented by Bob Weston on tape loops) have completed an album brimming with all the raw power of their debut, yet revealing tones, textures and lyrical themes unimaginable the first time around.

 Amazon.com: Norton Book of American Short Stories: Books: Peter Prescott   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Intentionally avoiding any particular definition of the genre that might restrict his selection, Newsweek writer Prescott here assembles 70 stories that represent the history, range, and achievement of this distinctively American literary form, from Ben Franklin's neglected "Speech of Polly Baker" to Michael Martone's "Biograph," a first-person account of John Dillinger's last days.
Except for a few already over-anthologized worksJackson's "The Lottery," Crane's "The Open Boat," Aiken's "Silent Snow, Secret Snow," for examplethese stories appear to have been chosen less for classroom use than for purely pleasurable reading.
This collection would have been a treat to read for fun, but I consider it an interesting, challenging textbook for class, as well.

Featuring Roger Miller on guitar, Clint Conley on bass, Peter Prescott on drums and newcomer Bob Weston (a member of the band Shellac) on sound and tape loops (sitting in for the now-retired Martin Swope), they are an alarmingly vital band with a live presence that must be experienced.
Rocking without ever dumbing it down, thinking without ever losing a visceral edge, they blazed a path for bands like Fugazi and Shellac and still don't sound in the least bit dated.
