Book Description
Former cop Jim Grant doesn't carry a gun. These terrific shorts will convince you that he's more dangerous without one. Boquillas Crossing Jim Grant rarely goes on vacation because when he does, it usually turns into just another day on the job. Take, for instance, his weekend getaway to Mexico. He’s hardly surprised to see some shady dealing going on between a couple of guests and the hotel proprietor. He is surprised, though, when what he assumes is a drug deal between the two parties turns out to be something very different. But no matter how surprised Grant is, it’s nothing compared to the reaction he gets when he steps into the fray. East Village Down In a Manhattan convenience store, a literary agent recognizes Jim Grant’s orange windcheater from the television news. Before she can corral him into a book deal, three masked thieves burst through the door with guns blazing. In a crisis like this, Grant knows the most important thing to do is keep everybody calm. But it quickly becomes clear that with these trigger-happy hoodlums, calm will only go so far.

Book Description
Throughout this text, Valerie Shaw addresses two key questions: 'What are the special satisfactions afforded by reading short stories?' and 'How are these satisfactions derived from each story's literary techniques and narrative strategies?'. She then attempts to answer these questions by drawing on stories from different periods and countries - by authors who were also great novelists, like Henry James, Flaubert, Kafka and D.H. Lawrence; by authors who specifically dedicated themselves to the art of the short story, like Kipling, Chekhov and Katherine Mansfield; by contemporary practitioners like Angela Carter and Jorge Luis Borges; and by unfairly neglected writers like Sarah Orne Jewett and Joel Chandler Harris.

Book Description
The Culture and Commerce of the Short Story is a cultural and historical account of the birth and development of the American short story from the time of Poe. It describes how America - through political movements, changes in education, magazine editorial policy and the work of certain individuals - built the short story as an image of itself and continues to use the genre as a locale within the realm of art where American political ideals can be rehearsed, debated and turned into literary forms. While the focus of this book is cultural, individual authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Edith Wharton are examined as representative of the phenomenon. As part of its project, this book also contains a history of creative writing and the workshop dating back a century. Andrew Levy makes a strong case for the centrality of the short story as a form of art in American life and provides an explanation for the genre's resurgence and ongoing success.

Book Description
Thomas Hardy penned nearly fifty short stories, but in spite of this impressive number, his contributions to the genre have been relatively understudied. Bringing together an international group of scholars, this is the first edited collection devoted solely to Hardy's works of short fiction. The contributors take up topics related to their publication in periodicals, gender and community relationships, and narrative techniques. Taken together, the essays show that Hardy's short stories are important, not only for what they tell us about Hardy as a writer who straddles the divide between the traditionalist and the modernist, but also for how they reflect and inform the period in which he wrote.
