Description

Following the immense success of The Art of the Tale, Daniel Halpern has assembled the next generation of short-story writers—those born after 1937—to create a companion volume, The Art of the Story. Attesting to the depth, range, and continued popularity of short fiction, this collection includes seventy-eight contributors from thirty-five countries. The Art of the Story combines the best of the established masters as well as the fresh, new voices of writers whose work has seldom been translated into English.Includes:Gift from somewhere by Ama Ata AidooKeeper of the virgins by Hanan Al-ShaykhAmor divino by Julia AlvarezImmortals by Martin AmisGlass tower by Reinaldo ArenasWilderness tips by Margaret AtwoodGorilla, my love by Toni Cade BambaraMy mother's memoirs, my father's lie, and other true stories by Russell BanksG-string by Nicola BarkerEvermore by Julian BarnesAren't you happy for me? by Richard BauschIn Amalfi by Ann BeattieRara avis by T.
