Masters of the modern short story (1945)
Masters of the modern short story is a 1945 american short stories book written by Walter Havighurst.
"The stories in this collection contain various glimpses of truth. Incident develops in the foreground; accompanying it, as a man crossing a summer field is accompanied by his shadow, develops the idea which it exemplifies. The story writer emobdies truth in people (from which all meaning must come), giving it the warmth and vitality of human experience; he uses specific incidents to symbolize universal conditions of life. That method of conveying truth can be considered indirect, or it can be considered the most concrete and direct method possible. At any rate, it is the storyteller's way."--From the introduction.
