Everyone likes a good story. The Story and Its Writer is an anthology of great stories like William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily," James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues," and Alice Walker's "Everyday Use." It is also a collection of great writers speaking about their craft. In these pages you can read a Raymond Carver story and then his recollection of taking his first college creative writing course. You can read Joyce Carol Oates's chilling tale "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" and then hear in her own words how she transformed it into a screenplay for a widely admired film. Whether your goal is simply to enjoy a great story, gain a deeper understanding of it, write effectively about it, or learn storytelling techniques, this collection is for you.
