Introducing Exceptional Short Stories Selected by New York’s Acclaimed Writing School

Fiction Gallery features works by 25 authors, including such acknowledged masters of short fiction as Anton Chekhov, Dorothy Parker, John Cheever, Raymond Carver, and such acclaimed contemporary writers as Edwidge Danticat, Pam Houston, Ethan Canin, T. C. Boyle, Jhumpa Lahiri, and ZZ Packer.

The stories in Fiction Gallery have been chosen to appeal to all readers, not just the fiction connoisseur. Every work will hold the reader spellbound from first to last page, while also exemplifying the very best in literary fiction.

Aspiring writers who enjoyed Gotham Writers' Workshop's *Writing Fiction* will find this anthology an invaluable source of inspiration and insight. This gallery of stories presents diverse examples of all the elements of fiction craft and demonstrates how writers seamlessly sew these elements into unforgettable tales. As a bonus, the anthology includes original interviews with T. C. Boyle, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Hannah Tinti, in which they illuminate the process of creating a short story.
