CVC6: Carter V Cooper Short Fiction Anthology, Book Six

by Gloria Vanderbilt (Editor)

From writer, artist and philanthropist, Gloria Vanderbilt, who sponsors one of the largest literary prizes in Canada, and who supports this unique Canadians-only short fiction publication. "I am proud and thrilled that all these wonderful writers are presented in the CVC Anthology. Carter, my son, Anderson Cooper's brother, was just 23 when he died in 1988. He was a promising editor, writer, and, from the time he was a small child, a voracious reader. Carter came from a family of storytellers, and stories were a guide which helped him discover the world."

Reviews

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

The anthology itself I've rated four of five stars ("really liked it").
But my purpose in acquiring the Carter V. Cooper short fiction anthology of Canadian writers published in 2016 was to read Matthew Heiti's "For They Were Only Windmills" which I consider a four of five star story.
Heiti has earned plenty of recognition for this short story as being the "Best Story by an Emerging Writer" for which he received a monetary prize.
(Nevertheless, Heiti is in stellar company of writers in this collection.)
Suffice to say Heiti's career background is anchored in the process of making movies and that is quite evident in the story. Anyone involved in the "cinema" appreciates its history, and its collaboration both in sprit and in reality.
And so.
History tells us "Marlon" and "Orson" never appeared in a movie together.
But though the magic..
Well enough said...
