Excellent Creative Writing Textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Editors Huddle, Orth, and Shepherd put themselves on the line by writing revealing "critical responses" to each of the sixteen "professional" short stories in this anthology. To top this off, they conclude the volume with a student short story (critiqued by a fellow student), then offer one story apiece, with cross-commentary, from their perspective as writing teachers. Thus, twenty stories and twenty short commentaries comprise this useful anthology, representing writers as diverse as Kafka and Chekhov, Carver and Mishima, Reynolds Price and Barry Hannah.
