Short stories have enjoyed a long and popular history, with many
famous writers attempting the craft at some point or another. Here,
Lee assembles a variety of writers who comment on the form itself
and its many meanings and manifestations. Concentrating on the
features and challenges of the short story, contributors from Amiri
Baraka to Richard Ford and Jayne Anne Phillips to Janette Turner
Hospital, discuss their own writing, the writing of others, the
short story form, gender, politics, and other issues concerning the
writing of short fiction. Readers will come away with a fuller
understanding and appreciation of the craft of the short story
writer. Taking a populist approach to the subject, Writers on
Writing focuses on relaying to readers the truth about short story
writing. Writers from around the globe reveal the secrets of the
form and their own approaches to it, as well as criticism of other
writers and their output. Challenging some of the traditional views
of past and current critics about short fiction, they present a new
outlook on the short story that speaks to both the short story
writer and the short story reader.
