Stanford Short Stories 1962 Stanford Short Stories 1962 $15.28 Edited by Wallace Stegner and Richard Scowcroft with assistance from Nancy Packer Book Stanford Short Stories 1962 Edited by Wallace Stegner and Richard Scowcroft With the assistance of Nancy Packer Preface by Blair Fuller "A first-class collection, worth to rank even with the annual 'best' volumes for the prevalent freshness and vitality of its writing" said the Boston Herald in a review of the most recent volume of short stories from the Stanford Creative Writing Center. The unusual literary and commercial success of many of the writers to come from the Center makes the publication of a new collection of stories an event, and readers who enjoy the feeling of personal discovery will find in this volume the best new stories of the last two years. Eugene Burdick, Tillie Olsen, Robin White, Dan Jacobson, Dennis Murphy, and Evan S. Connell, Jr., to name only a few, are graduates of the Center whose names are now well known, and from this volume others may join that list. Since 1946, the Center has brought to Stanford not only those who are perfecting their craft but, as guest lecturers, those who have mastered it: Katherine Anne Porter, Malcome Cowley, Frank O'Connor, Hortense Calisher, and others. The influence of suck renowned writers as these has supplemented the direction and encouragement of Wallace Stegner and Richard Scowcroft, Directors of the Center, in helping to shape the stories in this volume. Mr. Stegner and Mr. Scowcroft are Professors of English at Stanford University.
