This volume compiles 24 short stories written by notable authors such as Faulkner, Joyce, James, Hemingway, Woolf, Huxley and Steinbeck -- see photos of the Contents provided above for full listing. This hardcover book is in Very Good condition: the pages are clean, the binding is tight, the covers are unmarked. Only defects noted: bottom of the spine shows wear; the glue of the front and rear paste-down pages is showing through the inner boards; and the book is a little musty. Please see accompanying photos, which are of the actual item you will receive. The earlier edition of this book is reported to have been assigned by Kurt Vonnegut to his students in his "Form of Fiction" course at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and his instructions to his students began: "I invite you to read the fifteen tales in Masters of the Modern Short Story (W. Havighurst, editor, 1955, Harcourt, Brace, $14.95 in paperback). Read them for pleasure and satisfaction, beginning each as though, only seven minutes before, you had swallowed two ounces of very good booze."
