Aesthetic readings of Chekhov's stories -- Joyce's "Stories of my childhood" and cultural studies -- Affects in Hemingway's Nick Adams sequence -- O'Connor's Christian realism -- Carver's dark view of things.
"Taking an aesthetic approach to the genre of realist short fiction, Kerry McSweeney clusters the work of five masters - Anton Chekhov, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Flannery O'Connor, and Raymond Carver - to offer a poetics of the form for students and scholars. At the center of this argument is the notion that the realist short story is a glimpse - powerful and tightly focused - into a world that the writer must precisely craft and in which the reader must fully invest."--BOOK JACKET.
