Ron Carlson has been praised as a master of the short story ( Booklist ). In this essay collection, Ron Carlson Writes a Story, he offers a full range of notes and gives rare insight into a veteran writer's process by inviting the reader to watch over his shoulder as he creates the short story The Governor's Ball.
