An all-in-one craft guide and anthology, this is the first creative
writing book to find inspiration and guidance in the diverse
literary traditions of Asia. Including exemplary stories by leading
writers from Japan, China, India, Singapore and beyond as well as
those from Asian diasporas in Europe and America, The Art and Craft
of Asian Stories offers an exciting take on the traditional how-to
writing guide by drawing from a rich new trove of short stories
beyond the western canon which readers may never have encountered
before. Whilst still taking stock of the traditional elements of
story such as character, viewpoint and setting, Xu and Hemley let
these compelling stories speak for themselves to offer readers new
ideas and approaches which could enrich their own creative work.
Structured around the themes encountered in the stories, such as
race and identity, history and power, family and aspirations, this
text is a vital companion for writers at all levels keen to develop
and find new perspectives on key elements of their craft. Written
by two internationally successful writers and teachers, each
chapter contains complete short stories and writing exercises for
practice and inspiration.
