Summary "My Story That I Like Best" by Edna Ferber, Irvin S. Cobb, Peter B. Kyne, James Oliver Curwood, Meredith Nicholson, and H. C. Witwer is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology features each author's favorite story, providing a glimpse into their individual styles and themes. The likely topic of the book revolves around human experiences, emotions, and character explorations, ultimately highlighting ordinary life through engaging narratives. The opening of the book presents an introduction by Ray Long, the editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine. He describes the collaborative effort of six distinguished writers, each selecting a story they cherish the most. In the first story, "The Gay Old Dog" by Edna Ferber, we meet Jo Hertz, a middle-aged bachelor overshadowed by familial responsibilities and unfulfilled dreams. The narrative begins with an exploration of Jo's life as a 'Loop-hound' in Chicago, capturing his humorous, poignant struggles as he navigates loneliness and the societal expectations imposed by the three unmarried sisters he cares for. Ferber sets the stage for an intimate portrayal of Jo's character, hinting at the rich tapestry of human emotion and experience that will be central to the stories in this collection.
