A moving and inspiring anthology of masterful essays on stories that touch the hearts and minds of readers.
A writer, Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow once said, is a reader who is moved to emulation.
New York Times bestselling novelist and memoirist Andre Dubus III took that idea and invited acclaimed authors to write about short stories that altered their view of life and their place in it--short stories that, ultimately, made them want to write something substantial themselves.
Here is Richard Russo on Shirley Jacksons The Lottery, Joyce Carol Oates on John Updikes A&P, Tobias Wolff on Hawthornes Wakefield, Michael Cunningham on James Joyces The Dead.
Readers will gain new insight into these masterfully written stories but also on the contributors own lives and work.
The fifty contributors are T.
