Originally published in 1995, this book gathers together eleven
full-length essays on important American short story sequences of
the twentieth century. The introduction by J. Gerald Kennedy
elucidates problems of defining the genre, cites notable instances
of the form (such as Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio), and
explores the implications of its modern emergence and popularity.
Subsequent essays discuss illustrative works by such figures as
Henry James, Jean Toomer, Ernest Hemingway, Richard Wright, William
Faulkner, Eudora Welty, J. D. Salinger, John Cheever, John Updike,
Louise Erdrich, and Raymond Carver. While examining distinctive
thematic concerns, each essay also considers implications of form
and arrangement in the construction of composite fictions that
often produce the illusion of a fictive community.
