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 ...

"In the way of textbooks this one is really incredible. It has a truly great collection of short stories, and yes, there are fewer than the full edition, but it is almost more essential as a result. They have narrowed it down to the most key and often used. Every story I have read from this so far has been really gifted writing. The supplemental materials in the book are also at times interesting. Mostly, I really just recommend the book for the quality of short stories collected herein."
"This is THE short story book. Pat O'Donnell at UMF taught this book. There are casebooks in it of Flannery O'Connor and others. You need this book if you love short stories. Everybody's in it--and more."
"I have read many of these short stories before, but my favorite this time around was James Joyce's "The Dead." I cant believe after all these years of education, I had never read this short story before. It was amazing.
I also liked the commentary at the end of the book that included critiques of works within the book, essays by authors, writing/reading advice and so much more."
