Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this enduring classic, renowned Irish author Sean O'Faolain offers a penetrating examination of what makes great short fiction work. Drawing from his experience as both a master practitioner and dedicated teacher of the form, O'Faolain provides aspiring writers with insights that have rem…ained relevant for over seven decades.The heart of O'Faolain's approach lies not in technical formulas but in his insistence that good writing begins with authentic perception. Through clear-eyed analysis and memorable examples, he demonstrates why so many aspiring writers failnot for lack of technique, but because they have not truly learned to see the world around them.O'Faolain challenges the notion that ordinary lives provide insufficient material for fiction, pointing to writers like Dickens and Maupassant who transformed humble experiences into enduring literature. He argues persuasively that the bank clerk who claims to have nothing to write about has missed the essential truth: that the writer's gift lies not in extraordinary circumstances but in extraordinary awareness. His unique perspective as an Irish writer engaged with European literary traditions gives the book a broad, cosmopolitan outlook. 'The Short Story' stands alongside Frank O'Connor's 'The Lonely Voice' as an indispensable resource for writers, readers, and scholars.Blending practical advice with philosophical depth, this vintage gem from the post-war literary renaissance stands as both a practical guide and a passionate defense of authenticity in fiction. For anyone serious about the craft of short stories, O'Faolain's candid, sometimes bracingly direct counsel remains as valuable today as when first written. In this enduring classic, renowned Irish author Sean O'Faolain offers a penetrating examination of what makes great short fiction work. O'Faolain's candid, sometimes bracingly direct counsel remains as valuable today as when first written. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
