Though many outstanding novels have been written in the 20th century, most of these writers have also published short fiction. And in many cases, their short stories exhibit a greater degree of coherence and integrity than their longer works. The rise of creative writing programs in the 1960s helped fuel the growth of the short story and brought academic attention to it. So, too, the emergence of multiculturalism encouraged authors of diverse backgrounds to write about their cultures. This reference is a guide to the contemporary English-language short story. Included are alphabetically arranged entries for roughly 50 English-language short story writers from around the world, such as Chinua Achebe, John Barth, Jamaica Kincaid, Salman Rushdie, and Amy Tan. More than half the American writers profiled are from historically marginalized groups, such as Jewish-Americans, African-Americans, and Asian-Americans. Most of these authors have been active since 1960, and they reflect a wide range of experiences and perspectives in their works. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and includes biographical material, a brief review of existing criticism, a lengthier analysis of specific works, and a selected bibliography of primary and secondary sources. The volume begins with a detailed introduction to the short story genre and concludes with an annotated bibliography of major works on short story theory. 606 $aShort stories, American$vDictionaries 606 $aShort stories, English$vDictionaries 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$vDictionaries 606 $aCommonwealth fiction (English)$vDictionaries 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$vDictionaries 606 $aAuthors, American$y20th century$xBiography$vDictionaries 606 $aAuthors, Commonwealth$xBiography$vDictionaries 606 $aAuthors, English$y20th century$xBiography$vDictionaries 615 0$aShort stories, American 615 0$aShort stories, English 615 0$aAmerican fiction 615 0$aCommonwealth fiction (English) 615 0$aEnglish fiction 615 0$aAuthors, American$xBiography 615 0$aAuthors, Commonwealth$xBiography 615 0$aAuthors, English$xBiography 676 $a813/.0109 701 $aFallon$b Erin$f1971-$01796142 712 02$aSociety for the Study of the Short Story. 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973990303321 996 $aA reader's companion to the short story in English$94337791 997 $aUNINA
