Robert Boswell: The Man in the Water: Sub-Aqua Commerce in Maximal Short Fiction (July 2011)

$5.00

Robert Boswell examines what he calls “big stories,” or short stories which manage in relatively few pages to convey the complexity and expansiveness of the larger world.  How can a writer generate this sense of expansiveness?  And what strategies can be used to make a “big story” cohere?  Boswell explores these questions, focusing on examples from William Trevor and Alice Munro.
