Many of these are my favorites as well. Gaitskill isn't mentioned much here, but her prose sneaks up on you and you slowly realize its beauty.
A number of years ago in OOT there was a thread in which people were posting about mileage on their cars. I asked one guy are those actual miles. He didn't get it.
I always add "Bullet in the Brain" by Tobias Wolff to my list and "In the Gloaming" by Alice Eliot Dark to my list.
"The Dead" and "The Overcoat" may be the two greatest stories of all time.
Also nice to see the sci-fi you include. I might go for "The Men Who Murdered Mohamed" by Alfred Bester, but I can't quibble with your choices.
