Some people consider 'Wild Ducks Flying Backward' to be among his best short stories. In this story, Robbins' characteristic style of writing is on full display. He has a way of making the ordinary seem extraordinary and the strange seem normal. His descriptions are so detailed and engaging that you can't help but be drawn into the world he creates, and his exploration of human nature through the narrative is both fascinating and often unexpected.

One of his well - regarded short stories might be 'The Tetherballs of Bougainvillea'. Tom Robbins often weaves unique and thought - provoking themes in his works. His stories are known for their vivid characters and off - beat settings.

I'm not entirely sure which are the absolute best, but many readers praise his short works for their blend of humor and deep philosophical insights. For example, his use of language is very creative, like in 'Another Roadside Attraction'. It combines elements of the absurd with profound ideas about life, love, and society.
