I have taught the FICTION TUTOR in my creative writing classes and in my courses on short fiction. It is a terrific, concise guide to understanding the structure of a well-crafted short story. Madden includes 3 short stories in the book; the reader can refer to the specific stories and clearly see how the points he raised have been successful used. This book is a little gem!
