Book summary


The much-maligned institution of the graduate creative writing workshop gets a blast of positive publicity with this collection of stories and essays by graduates of the country's most prestigious workshop. Testimonials from happy graduates supplement stories by Iowa vets, beginning with the program's earliest students such as Wallace Stegner, Flannery O'Connor, and Raymond Carver and wrapping up with more recent ones such as Ethan Canin, Kathryn Harrison, Thom Jones, and Lan Samantha Chang. An essay on the effect of writing workshops on America's literary scene closes the volume.
