Description
Taking a distinctively aesthetic approach to the genre of realist short fiction, Kerry McSweeney clusters the work of five masters–Anton Chekhov, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Flannery O’Connor, and Raymond Carver–to offer a poetics of the form for students and scholars. Selecting writers from different generational, national, and cultural backgrounds, McSweeney chooses writers based on their commitment to the realist representation of experience and their shared belief in the importance and efficacy of the short story form.
