Review:

"Really and truly; I see no need for improvement; in my judgment, the text is the best I've ever used for any course."

"Please do not change any of the above sections of STORY AND STRUCTURE: this book is perfect...This book is consistently my first choice for "Writing about Literature" composition courses and for short fiction courses. Thank you for a superb textbook."
