- Synopsis
- A collection of over thirty short stories by one of the greatest fiction writers in American history, now available in a single volume for the first time ever.Mavis Gallant&’s extraordinary mastery of the short story remains insufficiently recognized. She may be the best writer of stories since the early-1950s prime of John Cheever, Eudora Welty, and Flannery O&’Connor, and even in such august company, her work is sui generis. Gallant&’s short fiction refines the art of the story even as it expands the boundaries of what a story can be. Above and beyond that, however, it constitutes a striking, almost avant-garde reduction. To read her is to discover something about the very nature of story: how for better or worse life is caught up in it, and how on the page that common predicament can come to life. The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant includes more than thirty stories never before gathered into one volume, including &“The Accident&” and &“His Mother&” and &“An Autobiography&” and &“Dédé.&” With the publication of this book, finally all of this modern master&’s fiction will be in print.
