This is a big book but well worth the price and time if you are a serious reader of short stories or trying to write them (as I am). You will find a comprehensive collection of the finest stories from the first efforts down to the present. There is also a wealth of commentary and criticism on the story in general and those in the collection. The Story and Its Writer has to be one of the best single sources of short story material that´s yet been assembled.¤ 2) Paperback Book The Story and Its Writer Compact: An Introduction to Short Fiction by Bedford/St. Martin´s. This anthology was something I stumbled upon in college and completely changed the way I approached reading and writing. The stories are a wide variety and the writers writing about writing is a fantastic resource. This is one of the most precious pieces to my library and a must for any serious reader and writer.¤ 3) Paperback Book The Story and Its Writer Compact: An Introduction to Short Fiction by Bedford/St. Martin´s. Becareful this book is a resource for teachers. Stories are not complete. Good book for reference but not for learning.¤ 4) Paperback Book The Story and Its Writer Compact: An Introduction to Short Fiction by Bedford/St. Martin´s. My book arrived when it said it would and it was in perfect condition. Thanks.¤ 5) Paperback Book The Story and Its Writer Compact: An Introduction to Short Fiction by Bedford/St. Martin´s. This compilation of short stories was used for my Intro. to the Short Story college course. Our professor only picked out certain stories but I found myself reading unassigned stories myself. Some of these stories are wonderful. My favorite was "The Widow´s Son" by Mary Lavin. Some other noteworthy stories: "Hills Like White Elephants" Hemingway, "Girl" by J. Kincaid. Too many more to list, a course book I am actually keeping so I can finish reading it. Usually I can´t wait to close them after the course and not see them anymore! :)¤ 6) Paperback Book The Story and Its Writer Compact: An Introduction to Short Fiction by Bedford/St. Martin´s. During her many years of teaching introduction to fiction courses, Ann Charters developed an acute sense of which stories work most effectively in the classroom. She also discovered that writers, not editors, have the most interesting and useful things to say about the making and the meaning of fiction. Accordingly, her choice of fiction in the first edition of her The Story and Its Writer was as notable for its student appeal as it was for its quality and range. And to complement these stories, she introduced a lasting innovation: an array of the writers´ own commentaries on the craft and traditions of the short story. In subsequent editions her sense of what works was confirmed as the book evolved into the most comprehensive, diverse-- and bestselling -- introduction to fiction anthology. Instructors rely on Ann Charters´ ability to assemble an authoritative and teachable anthology, and anticipate each edition´s selection of new writers and stories. Page Updated: Robert N.
