	Howard Fast
		Fast later showed himself to be an insightful diagnostician of the way good people, worthy of affection and respect, were degraded, humiliated, lied to and betrayed by Stalin and his conscienceless henchmen in the American party.
		Fast was convicted in 1946 on a charge of contempt of Congress arising from his refusal to produce the records of the Joint Antifascist Refugee Committee before the House Un-American Activities Committee.
		Fast's fiction was always didactic to a degree, opposed to modernism, engaged in social struggle and insistent on taking sides and teaching lessons of life's moral significance, and he liked it that way.

	Reviews of Writing Books -- Writers Write -- The IWJ*
		Fast Fiction uses a unique teaching method of creating very short stories very quickly and then working up to longer stories and novels.
		In the exercises you are either given the subject of the story -- "Write a story about something narrow" or given a sentence to use in a story such as "She had a suitcase with her." Another section asks you to write a story from a sentence describing a photograph you are shown.
		Fast Fiction is an excellent way to get you to think creatively and learn to formulate ideas that you can then turn into longer pieces of work.

		The writers of flash fiction also have a hand in helping to refine it, define it, and extend it, and such writing is constantly reconfiguring and metamorphosing before our very eyes.
		Flash fiction is clearly a worldwide phenomenon, a mode of writing which seems particularly well-suited to our current fast-paced, often breathless lives, in which we still crave the insights good literature can bring.
		Further, flash fiction is particularly well-suited to Internet publications, and the Internet will have a large part to play in the proliferation of this exciting type of writing.

	Fast-paced fiction on evolution of Darwin’s theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		This book gives a fictionalized version of the events that might have led to Charles Darwin's formulation of his theory of natural selection and his book "The Origin of Species," which was published in 1859.
		Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times writer John Darnton skillfully weaves a novel containing characters of the present day with a fictionalized tale of Darwin's four-plus years of voyages on the HMS Beagle, under the command of Capt. Robert FitzRoy, with fictional journals written by one of Darwin's daughters, Elizabeth, about whom little is actually known.
		The result is a fast-paced, intriguing and exciting story about how one of the world's most controversial questions came to be asked and answered.
