Mavis Gallant Collected Stories Hardback
by Mavis Gallant
Part of the Everyman's Library CLASSICS series
Hardback
Description
This generous collection of fifty-two stories selected from across her prolific career by the author, is preceded by a preface in which she discusses the sources of her art. With irony and an unfailing eye for the telling detail, Gallant weaves stories of spare complexity, often pushing the boundaries of the form in boldly unconventional directions.
The settings in the COLLECTED STORIES range from Paris to Berlin to Switzerland, from the Riviera to the Côte d'Azur, and her characters are almost all exiles of one sort or another, as she herself was the most of her expatriate life.
The wit and precision of her prose, combined with her expansive view of humanity, provide a rare and deep reading pleasure.
With breathtaking control and compression, Gallant delivers a whole life, a whole world, in each story.
