Inhaltsangabe
In a series of essays written by leading contemporary exponents of the short story such as David Constantine, A. S. Byatt, and Frank Cottrell Boyce, this anthology examines the work and genius of past masters such as D. H. Lawrence, Anton Chekhov, and Frank O'Connor. Each essay examines three stories in particular from each literary luminary from both a critical and creative point of view as it seeks to understand the elements that make for an enduring short story. What becomes apparent in this unique, cross-disciplinary reader is that complicated plots, story arcs, and narrative layering, far from being the province of the novel or feature films, are amply present in short fiction as well, a literary form that has a long tradition of deploying some of the most tightly coiled, daring, and complicated structures of any. This is an indispensable resource for short story lovers, creative writing students, and fans of the past masters being examined or the contemporary authors of each piece.

Paperback. Zustand: New. What makes for a good short story? Being short, you might think the storys structure would yield an answer to this question more readily than, say, the novel. But for as long as the short story has been around, arguments have raged as to what it should and shouldnt be made up of, what it should and shouldnt do. Here,15 leading contemporary practitioners offer structural appreciations of past masters of the form as well as their own perspectives on what the short story does so well. The best short stories dont have closure, argues one contributor, because life doesnt have closure; plot must be written with the denouement constantly in view, quotes another. Covering a century of writing that arguably saw all the major short forms emerge, from Hawthornes Twice Told Tales to Kafkas modernist nightmares, these essays offer new and unique inroads into classic texts, both for the literature student and aspiring writer.
