	The Rea Award for the Short Story - 2006 Winner - John Updike
		Michael M. Rea, a passionate reader and collector of short stories, founded the Rea Award for the Short Story in 1986 to be given annually to a living American or Canadian writer whose work has made a “significant contribution to the discipline of the short story as an art form”.
		Rea, who traced his love of the short story back to his Irish roots noted, “The basic thrust of the award is to foster a literary cause, to ennoble the form, to give it prestige.” Michael M. Rea died in the summer of 1996.
		Contemplating John Updike’s monumental achievement in the short story, one is moved to think of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, and perhaps William Faulkner--writers whose reputations would be as considerable, or nearly, if their short stories had been all that they had written.

	History of the Short Story, Part I
		Woolf and others wrote entire stories in a stream of consciousness, which is completely different from sitting in a stream being conscious of what you write though that wouldn't be a bad way of writing either except that it might get cold and you get the picture.
		In particular, stories like "The Southern Thruway," are incredible for their creativity and counsel that they give to the reader (traffic jams stink, porsches have all the goods, life is like a bottleneck).
		Actually, modern short story writers probably hit closest to home because they deal with issues and conflicts that are related to the present.

	The Short Story - Jackie Kay thinkpiece (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Short stories are not easy to write; they can't simply be written as a preparation for writing a novel, or as a break between writing a novel.

	The Short Story: Read to Write: Beginning the Dissection [English Online]
		The Title: Short Story writers will often "load" the title of the story to direct the reader to a particular reading of the content or to focus on a significant image or symbol within the story.
		In doing a close reading of a short story it is worth while examining the relevance of the title to the action and exchanges that occur in the story.
		Another way to end a story is to leave the ends loose so that the reader has to provide the ending based on the clues and hints left by the writer throughout the story.

	Story Bytes - Very Short Stories - Information
		No single Story Byte has ever exceeded 2048 words, and most of them are far shorter than that (the 256 word story being the most common---less than half a printed page in a paperback book).
		And a number of Story Bytes are written with this in mind: to expose the seemingly ordinary moments in life that are, after all, extraordinary.
		One final element worth noting, often shared between the shortest of the stories, is that these very short Story Bytes tend to have repercussions that last beyond the blaze mark tagging the end of each story.

		What seems to be a very religious story about the grace of God develops into a story about the twisted methods of the Catholic church and a questioning of society's interpretation of grace.

	What Is a Short Story?
		Without that structure, the piece is not a short story at all but a scene, a vignette, a fragment--evocative, yes, but not emotionally or psychologically satisfying.
		I'd suggest that the richness of a short story is what may come back to us in car-stopping flashes, weeks or years later, whereas the richness of a novel is the kind that never truly leaves us.
		I remember reading a collection of short stories by Jack London, at around age eight, and what thrilled me about some of those stories was not just the fast-paced action and exotic, though not impenetrable, locales, but their digestibility.

	An unreliable modern "Mariner": rewriting Coleridge in Harold Brodkey's "The State of Grace." - Brodkey's refashioning ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Harold Brodkey is not the first modern American to refashion Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" into a short story.
		Indeed, Brodkey's reimagining of Coleridge's "Mariner" strikingly recalls Anderson's achievement in three ways: the narrator of "The State of Grace" is a grotesque; his story is a profoundly ironic psychological study; and the result, as with Anderson's two tales, is a highly effective tragicomic neo-Coleridgean parody.
		Brodkey's protagonist, a first-person narrator who remembers the adventures he had at age 13, remains nameless throughout the tale: because he doesn't care what anyone might have to say to him, this egotist never describes himself as being addressed by anybody.
