Preface
15 years ago, Gary and I attended a conference in Toronto; 15 years later, I was in Toronto
alone. Gary had several wishes for meto publish this book and the collection of my poems.
This book is of great significance to us. Throughout his life, Gary was completely and
thoroughly in love with literature. We studied literature as if we were studying life.e framework
of this book shows our lifelong e ort of studying literature, understanding literature, studying life
and understanding life. And the most striking innovation is its thematic organization, not found
in other college-level short story anthologies： The Person： What Is Human Being? Personal
Struggle： What Adversaries Do Humans Face? Conduct： How Does a Person Act? Value： What
Should a Person Value? Outlook： What Views of Existence Can a Person Have? Purpose： To
What Ends Can a Person Live? is fresh organizational scheme re ects the great endeavor of
bothction writer and its readers to understand the truth of life.
e strength of this book partially lies in that its choices are not limited to any nation or age,
although its selected short stories mainly come from English literature.e best short stories of
Western literature have been included here for their power to touch our hearts. Glossary of literary
terms should have been provided, which we will surely make up in the second edition of this book
e teaching and reading of this book will be of great value to those seeking the meaning of
life, which is all Gary ever wanted.
