Beschreibung:
The short story has been a staple of American literature since the nineteenth century, taught in virtually every high school and consistently popular among adult readers. But what makes a short story unique? In Reading for Storyness, Susan Lohafer, former president of the Society for the Study of the Short Story, argues that there is much more than length separating short stories from novels and other works of fiction. With its close readings of stories by Kate Chopin, Julio Cortzar, Katherine Mansfield, and others, this book challenges assumptions about the short story and effectively redefines the genre in a fresh and original way.
Once more into the forest; Learning the ropes of preclosure; Preclosing an "open" story; Stages of preclosure and the history of the American short story; Preclosure in issue-bound stories; Everybody (?) loves Raymond Carver; Currents in a still pond; Minimalism and social history; The short story and its non-fiction counterpart.
