This is the great book intended for ones who have an interest in American literature in general, and American short-story in particular. The book leads us throughout two centuries, from the emergence of short-story in American literature in early 19th century, with Washington Irving and William Austin at this very beginning, to late 20th century, ending with Raymond Carver.
