Seller's Description:
Very Good. First edition. Octavo. xxiii, 608pp. Poet and novelist Norman Macleod's copy, with his owner signature on the front pastedown (dated 1944) and extensive pencil annotations (presumably his) to Heminway's story "The Killers." Spine toned, modest exterior wear and soil, a very good copy lacking the dust jacket. An important text with a nice association.
This book analyzes short stories structurally. This is the most important aspect of writing, and the one most writers fail at--especially contemporary writers, who either studied commercial fiction and believe Jack Bickham's or Syd Field's theories, or went to MFA programs and spent 6 years studying how to say nothing with style.
Its one failing is that many of the stories are boring, because they deliver a bare theme by itself, rather than (as I believe should usually be done) a theme that's conveyed by a story with a plot.
