Summary "How to Study 'The Best Short Stories': An Analysis of Edward J. O'Brien's Annual Volumes of the Best Short Stories of the Year" by Blanche Colton Williams is a comprehensive instructional guide designed for writers and students of the short story, written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide analysis and insight into the art of short story writing by dissecting various elements of storytelling and examining selected works from notable authors included in O'Brien's annual collections. The opening of this analytical work sets the stage for an exploration of the techniques essential for crafting compelling short stories. Williams expresses gratitude to several authors for their contributions to her understanding of story development, emphasizing the value of learning from both successful and less successful narratives. She highlights the necessity for aspiring writers to engage deeply with the craft, underscoring elements such as character development, plot structure, and the importance of a discerning audience in fostering literary talent. The text thus serves as both a practical guide and an inspirational source for those seeking to refine their writing skills through the study of established works.
