 The Facts on File Companion to the American Short Story
by Abby H. P. Werlock (Editor), James P. Werlock, Gregory M.
Weight (Contributor)
Since the first American short story was published in
1799, interest in the genre has continued to grow. Sales of
collections have risen over the years, short story readings
proliferate in bookstores, and these works have been increasingly
incorporated within college courses. The Facts On File Companion to
the American Short Story is an encyclopedic resource to all aspects
of this literary art form.
Engaging and jargon-free, with contributions from a team of
scholars, The Facts On File Companion to the American Short Story
is the only reference book that analyzes the genre as a whole. With
more than 675 entries in A-to-Z format, it provides explanations of
major critical controversies and ways to broaden the reader's
interpretation of a short story. Scholars and students of various
levels will find it invaluable; its bibliographies and cross
references will expand further research possibilities; its
definitions of literary terms contribute to more informed reading.

Biography
My personal biography is not overly interesting.
I grew up in the Seattle suburbs, went to Pomona College, and then
went to U. of Delaware for graduate school. I came out to my
colleagues my first year of graduate school and was actively
involved in LGBT issues, serving for one year as the coordinator
of the LGBT Community Office on-campus. I currently live with my
partner in Collegeville, PA and enjoy singing with the
Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus.
