Arthur Edelstein knew how to teach the craft of fiction writing. He did it with intelligence, grace, humor, and authority. His knowledge of literature was vast, his understanding of the human condition profound, and his method of teaching unforgettable. Although many of his students went on to publish and receive recognition for their work, every person who studied with him was the better for it. This anthology is a compendium of all we learned from him and all we know and strive for as writers.a tangible token of our admiration.
