Description

Short stories have enjoyed a long and popular history, with many famous writers contributing to the genre. Here, Lee assembles a variety of writers who comment on the form itself and its many varieties and manifestations. Concentrating on the features and challenges of the short story, contributors including Amiri Baraka, Richard Ford, Jayne Anne Phillips and Janette Turner Hospital discuss their own writing, the writing of others, the short story form, gender, politics, and other issues relating to the writing of short fiction. Readers will come away with a fuller understanding and appreciation of the craft of the short story writer. The contributors challenge some of the traditional views of past and current critics about short fiction, and present a new outlook that speaks to both the writer and the reader.
