In truly good writing no matter how many times you read it you do not know how it is done. That is because there is a mystery in all great writing and that mystery does not dis-sect out. It continues and it is always valid. Each time you re-read you see or learn something new.
-Ernest Hemingway
This is especially true for me with great short stories, like the best of Jhumpa Lahiri's or, epecially, Raymond Carver's master works.
