He also found the stories have a common "concern for character, and an examination of the emotional and psychological distance one might travel when faced with a problem. () each compels the character to make a decision, to make an effort, to make a move. Consequently, things happen in these stories. Which is to say that we end in a place very different from the story's beginning. In no resolution of a ''Gettysburg'' story, however, do we find ourselves living Happily Ever After. Life is more complicated than that, these writers assert."〔Tanner, Ron. (Gettysburg Review ) ''Studies in Short Fiction'', Summer, 1994, Retrieved February 8, 2007〕 The quarterly gets about 6,000 submissions per year and does not solicit work except for occasional reviews. "()e work hard not to have a regular stable of writers or favored persons of any kind," according to Peter Stitt, the editor. "We are most proud of publishing writers who have never before appeared in a nationally-circulated journal. But we do not actively search through the slush pile for anything but good writing."〔("Interview with LitJournals / Conducted by Dan Wickett on January 19, 2005" ) Emerging Writers Forum, Retrieved June 10, 2007〕 The magazine is supported financially by Gettysburg College, for the most part, although it also receives grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the NEA, along with some revenue from subscriptions.〔 ==Appearances in The Best American Mystery Stories series== * The Best American Mystery Stories 2008, Joyce Carol Oates, "Doll: A Romance of the Mississippi" * The Best American Mystery Stories 2008, Kyle Minor, "A Day Meant to Do Less" * The Best American Mystery Stories 2006, Emily Raboteau, "Smile" * The Best American Mystery Stories 2004, Christopher Coake, "All Through the House" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Gettysburg Review」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
