Synopses & Reviews
Comp Tales is an engaging collection of the stories that college writing teachers tell and retell in the classroom, in the hallway, over the tutor's table, in committee rooms, on street corners, over the kitchen table. The book also contains reflections about the tales written by the storytellers, as well as serious discussion about the role of story-telling in composition by the editors. This book is a unique, compelling introduction to composition for new teachers.
