Web of Stories, A: An Introduction to Short Fiction

This wonderful book is an anthology for introduction to fiction courses that offers a wide-ranging, fresh collection of stories. The book is a chronological organization with casebooks scattered throughout providing literary, cultural, and biographical information; and introductory chapters that are more accessible and student-oriented than anything comparable in a competing book. The book outlines the history of the short story, from its origins outside and within Europe, integrating a world perspective that includes the evolution of the modern story from its folk origins. For anyone interested in Short Stories or Creative Writing with an emphasis on fiction.
