[PAR] [TLE] Short story [SEP] A short story is a piece of prose fiction that can be read in one sitting.  Emerging from earlier oral storytelling traditions in the 17th century, the short story has grown to encompass a body of work so diverse as to defy easy characterization.  At its most prototypical the short story features a small cast of named characters, and focuses on a self-contained incident with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood.  In doing so, short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components to a far greater degree than is typical of an anecdote, yet to a far lesser degree than a novel.  While the short story is largely distinct from the novel, authors of both generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques. [PAR] [TLE] Crown of Stars [SEP] Crown of Stars is a posthumous collection of Alice Sheldon (aka James Tiptree, Jr.)‘s unpublished short stories and those published in the final years of her career.  All but one of the stories ("Come Live With Me") had previously been published elsewhere, in Science fiction magazines or anthologies.  It is copyrighted to “the Estate of Alice B. Sheldon” and was first published in 1988 by Tom Doherty Associates.  "Crown of Stars" is 340 pages in length.  Here we have ten short stories that generally represent Sheldon’s last contributions to literature, said to include her final burst of creativity.
