Product Description
The most popular Literature anthology continues to bring students the finest literature from fables to poetweets. The Twelfth Edition of Literature: An Introductiuon to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing, Compact Edition editedby X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia, includes eleven new stories from students’ favorite authors: ZZ Packer’s “Brownies,” Ray Bradbury’s, “The Sound of Thunder,” Anne Tyler’s, “Teenage Wasteland,” David Leavitt’s, “A Place I’ve Never Been” and Isabel Allende’s “The Judge’s Wife.” More than 60 new accessible and engaging poems have been added including former Iraqi soldier Brian Turner’s “The Hurt Locker,” Katha Pollit’s “The Mind-Body Problem” as well as poetweets from Lawrence Bridges and Robert Pinsky. In addition, there are new poems from Kay Ryan, Benjamin Alire Saenz, H. D, Gary Snyder, Joy Harjo, Tami Haaland, Robert Hayden, Denise Levertov, and William Carlos Williams. Three new one-act plays help “ease” students into the study of this genre. The new plays include two comedies-- David Ives’s, Sure Thing and Jane Martin’s Beauty–as well as Edward Bok Lee’s experimental drama El Santo Americano. In addition, Milcha Sanchez-Scott’s The Cuban Swimmer has been added.
Customer Reviews
I got this book for one of my classes but I really enjoyed it. It has some of the best stories you will ever read. I am someone who dislikes reading but some of these stories are easy to read and follow. I thought of selling my book but I might have to keep it for future reference. The paper is a little thin so be careful with writing with a pen and highlighting. I still highly recommend it though it’s not like the paper is the worst thing in the world. The book contains many short stories, poetry, and drama. It has old and newer stories as well. "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is a short story by American author Ernest Hemingway and it was my favorite to read from this book.
