Contemporary Maine Fiction Author:Wesley McNair More than an anthology, Contemporary Maine Fiction is a celebration of the quality and diversity of today's fiction writing in Maine. Editor Wesley McNair has assembled 14 short stories for the collection, several of which are being published for the first time. Among the contributors to this anthology are Pulitzer Prize winners Richard R... more »usso and Richard Ford and best-selling novelist and National Book Award winner Stephen King, as well as regional favorites Bill Roorbach, Cathie Pelletier, Carolyn Chute, and eight others. A constant and moving presence in this fiction is the state of Maine itself -- its sharply defined seasons, its far-flung towns, and the islands off its rocky coast -- and you'll meet an assortment of vivid characters you won't easily forget, as well. The book offers both a celebration of Maine's writers and the art of storytelling itself.« less
