- Abstract
- en_US Here is a book I include for just one reason: it shows the range of the word fable in the vocabulary of an enlightened contemporary reader and writer. As far as I can tell, fable is not used once in this anthology of thirteen recent short stories or its introduction. Note the fascinating criterion for inclusion: Auchincloss chooses writers free from the tyranny of relevance.
