Google almost any celebrated short story writer - George Saunders, Kelly Link, Alice Munro, Isak Dinesen, Joy Williams - and you're likely to see the same two words over and over again: "writer's writer." Lest you be tempted to exalt that phrase's use, consider Cynthia Ozick's description: "Every writer understands exactly what that fearful possessive hints at: a modicum of professional admiration accompanied - or subverted - by dim public recognition and even dimmer sales."
