Since its founding in 1979, the Johns Hopkins Poetry and Fiction
series has published forty volumes of short fiction, beginning with
Guy Davenport's acclaimed Da Vinci's Bicycle. The series was
launched with two guiding principles: to publish works of short
fiction exhibiting formal excellence and strong emotional appeal
and to publish writers at all stages of their careers.
So the Story Goes gathers the best short fiction of the series,
works exhibiting wit, elegance, and wisdom. Writing about a wide
variety of subjects and in a multitude of styles, the twenty
writers collected here share a mastery of language and an
extraordinary ability to entertain.
