Ploughshares Fall 1993 Guest-Edited by Sue Miller
The Fall 1993 issue of Ploughshares, guest edited by Sue Miller. Ploughshares, a journal of new writing, is guest edited serially by prominent writers who explore different and personal visions, aesthetics, and literary circles.
This fiction edition of Ploughshares compiles fourteen stories that center on the concept of time. Acclaimed novelist Sue Miller (The Good Mother, While I Was Gone) selects short stories that play with linear structure and transcend the traditional way we perceive time in fiction. In her introduction, Miller writes, "To move beyond this present-tense recital of events--as these stories do--to selectively shape a presentation of events playing out over time; to point to the connections, the results, the meaning, is to deal with consequence. And, I'd argue, to make consequential fiction." Featuring work by Michael Dorris, Robin Hemley, Laura Glen Louis, T.M. McNally, Mary McGarry Morris, Ann Packer, Elizabeth Tallent, and Jonathan Wilson.
