The word \u003ci\u003eunderstanding\u003c\/i\u003e in the series titles was deliberately chosen. Many willing readers lack an adequate understanding of how contemporary literature works: that is, what the author is attempting to express and the means by which it is conveyed. These volumes provide instruction in how to read certain contemporary writers--identifying and explicating their material, themes, use of language, point of view, structures, symbolism, and responses to experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreg Johnson is the author of two previous volumes of short fiction, \u003ci\u003eDistant Friends, \u003c\/i\u003e for which he was named 1990 Georgia Author of the Year, and \u003ci\u003eA Friendly Deceit, \u003c\/i\u003e which is also available from Johns Hopkins.
