The first volume of an indispensable reference set that catalogues a vast selection of short fiction authors. Each author entry includes biographical information, a list of their important short stories and other literary forms they have worked in, and literary analysis on a selection of titles from their body of work. This volume covers nearly fifty authors, including Margaret Atwood, Donald Barthelme, Jorge Luis Borges, Raymond Carver, John Cheever, Andre Dubus, and Ralph Ellison.
