EFICTIONS is a unique anthology that provides a creative solution for the Introductory Fiction or Introductory Literature course. Instructors can adopt the core text--an engaging collection of the best-loved and most-taught short stories in English--or, they can use the EFICTIONS Web Site to build a customized anthology of traditional and innovative stories that matches their teaching style and literary interests. The core text contains: an introduction that covers the reading, writing, and research process; "Paired Stories," a short anthology of 10 stories that enables students to compare how two authors develop one of the major fictional elements; "A Collection of Stories," a longer anthology of 59 stories arranged alphabetically, but accompanied by a thematic table of contents; and a glossary of critical terms. The Web site contains all 70 stories from the core text, as well as 130 additional stories--traditional favorites, new voices, and international stories written in or translated into English--that give instructors unprecedented flexibility in designing an anthology for their course. All customized versions of EFICTIONS automatically contain the Introduction and "Paired Stories" sections from the core text. In addition, instructors have the option of including their own course materials in their customized anthology.
