Fiction's Many Worlds Reviews
-
I used this book in college a few years ago in a class titled "Short Stories for Writers," and in the midst of my writing this year, I had to hunt down the book again with the help of a friend. It's a strong collection with engaging discussion questions after each story and some interesting choices in categories, and I love how this collection of stories lends itself to writing prompts and ideas. Furthermore, since the collection is older, it's also a cheap textbook to have around and consider for your syllabus. If any of my teacher/professor friends want to see a Table of Contents page for this anthology, let me know, and I can forward you the scanned copy via e-mail!
