It was awesome to listen about books we never heard about. Wish you could have taught one of those stories in oates anthology. Since creative writing is an obsession with many people . Today people who couldn't try being anacrobat or try to fly a plane think they can write. So a class on creative writing could explain to these hopefuls how difficult it is to write a satisfying story. Wish you could do it with some of your great books too. Thanking you
Hi Jim, I was enjoying your video today and noticed that many of the stories in your book are in my own book, The Norton Introduction to Literature, sixth edition. I read No One‘s a Mystery by Elizabeth Tallent and I agree with you about how so much can be done in so little space.
Thanks! Both books were published by Norton. Maybe they had the rights secured to the stories already, which would explain the overlap. My first encounter with "No One's a Mystery" was actually from The Norton Introduction to Literature, too!
