Collected Stories
The Collected Stories of Nicholas DelbancoPraise for Nicholas Delbanco "Nicholas Delbanco writes like an inspired maniac, with a brilliant outpouring of image and idea." —Hudson Review "Delbanco’s book of narrative riffs and meditations is a wonder. He may know more than just about anyone about the serious play that it literary life, and he writes of it with great spirit and flair.” —Lorrie Moore “Delbanco, like Malraux, has extended his method to explore a different context; a sensibility of enormous sophistication stretches itself to take in both the private and public domains . . . An excellent writer is among us, and if we neglect him . . .we shall have to apologize to posterity.” —John Leonard, New York Times “The wisdom of a superb, experienced writer and inspired teacher is here distilled for our pleasure.

Why Writing Matters
Drawing lessons from writers of all ages and writing across genres, a distinguished teacher and writer reveals the enduring importance of writing for our time In this new contribution to Yale University Press's Why X Matters series, a distinguished writer and scholar tackles central questions of the discipline of writing. Drawing on his own experience with such mentors as John Updike, John Gardner, and James Baldwin, and in turn having taught such rising stars as Jesmyn Ward, Delbanco looks in particular at questions of influence and the contradictory, simultaneous impulses toward imitation and originality. Part memoir, part literary history, and part analysis, this unique text will resonate with students, writers, writing teachers, and bibliophiles.
