What’s the best short story in the world? Obviously, this is very much a matter of personal taste, but in this first of a new regular series of features on short story writing, I’d like to share one of my favourite stories with you and discuss why I think it works so well.
As with my previous masterclasses, you will get the most out of this piece if you read the short story for yourself. Please be aware that in discussing the story I am going to give away the ending, so you might want to read the story first, at http://writ.rs/wmmar17
