catalog abstract ""This volume traces the Iowa Writers' Workshop's decade-by-decade evolution from the 1930s through the present.

The forty-three stories at the heart of this book have been carefully selected to, in the editor's words, "attest to the perpetual summer, abundance and variety of Iowa's achievements, proof of its lush resonance in American culture.""--Jacket.".
