Most of all, it is intended for readers who are not (or are no longer) in the habit of reading short stories. Our hope is that this collection will be useful to young writers, and to others interested in literary technique. Some chose stories that were new even to us. This anthology - the first of its kind - is more than a treasury: it is an indispensable resource for writers, students, and anyone else who wants to understand fiction from a writer's point of view. Over the course of the last half century, the Review has launched hundreds of careers while publishing some of the most inventive and best-loved stories of our time. What does it take to write a great short story? In Object Lessons, twenty contemporary masters of the genre answer that question, sharing favorite stories from the pages of The Paris Review.
