Izabrane priče predstavlja izbor kratkih priča Darija Džamonje, sarajevskog pisca, novinara i boema. On je svakako najznačajniji autor kratke priče u savremenoj bosansko-hercegovačkoj literaturi. Njegove priče često imaju formu skaza: jezgrovite, duhovite i sentimentalne. Njihov tematski okvir zapravo je okvir Džamonjinog života koji predstavlja Sarajevo, sarajevske mahale i kafane. Izbor načinjen u ovoj knjizi daje presek Džamonjinog stvaralaštva u svoj punoći i sjaju.
