Ann Charters knows that writers, not editors, have the most interesting and useful things to say about the making and the meaning of fiction. Her anthology, The Story and its Writer, is the most comprehensive and diverse introduction to fiction available, notable for its array of the writers' own commentaries on the craft and traditions of fiction and for its adventurous selection of contemporary and multicultural fiction, this time with more emphasis on graphic storytelling and short, short fiction.

In his ambitious and deeply rewarding novel, Jimmy Carter brings to life the Revolutionary War as it was fought in the Deep South; it is a saga that will change the way we think about the conflict. He reminds us that much of the fight for independence took place in that region and that it was a struggle of both great and small battles and of terrible brutality, with neighbor turned against neighbor, the Indians' support sought by both sides, and no quarter asked or given. The Hornet's Nest follows a cast of characters and their loved ones on both sides of this violent conflict - including some who are based on the author's ancestors.
