Description

Short fiction in France has made a major contribution to French culture and literature.

This volume provides new insights into some of the best examples of this form of writing in the twentieth century and also includes a chapter which explores ways in which the genre is evolving as the century draws to a close. Each chapter has been written by specialists in their particular field; their interpretations are backed by the experience of teaching and writing about these authors.

They invite the reader to go beyond the immediate context or circumstances of what is related in the story under scrutiny and illustrate some of the many ways in which short stories may be narrated.

In some cases stories are revisited and subjected to new interpretations; in others those perhaps less well known are revealed as being no less rewarding.

The book offers stimulating reading for those already familiar with some of the works under discussion as well as for those coming to them afresh.
