The Art and Craft of Asian Stories: A Writer’s Guide and Anthology, Robin Hemley and Xu Xi (Bloomsbury Academic, September 2021)

An all-in-one craft guide and anthology that examines stories by leading writers from Japan, China, India, Singapore and beyond as well as those from Asian diasporas in Europe and America. While still taking stock of the traditional elements of story such as character, viewpoint and setting, Xu and Hemley let these compelling stories speak for themselves to offer readers new ideas and approaches which could enrich their own creative work. Structured around the themes encountered in the stories, such as race and identity, history and power, family and aspirations, the practical writing exercises make this a vital companion for writers at all levels keen to develop and find new perspectives on key elements of their craft.
