520			_a"A groundbreaking resource for fiction writers, teachers, and students, this manifesto and practical guide challenges current models of craft and the writing workshop by showing how they fail marginalized writers, and how cultural expectations inform storytelling."-- _cProvided by publisher.
520			_a"The traditional writing workshop was established with white male writers in mind; what we call craft is informed by their cultural values. In this bold reevaluation of the elements of fiction writing--including plot, characterization, conflict, and structure--and aspects of workshop--including the silenced writer and the imagined reader--Matthew Salesses asks, How can we invite diverse storytelling traditions into literary spaces? Teachers will find suggestions for syllabi, grading, and introducing new methods to the classroom; students will find revision and editing guidance. Drawing from examples including One Thousand and One Nights, Curious George, and the Asian American classic No-No Boy, Salesses reminds us: "When we write fiction, we write the world.""--back cover.
