The Stories of Mary Gordon by Mary Gordon
The stories of Mary Gordon return us to the pleasure of this writer's craft and to her monumental talent as an observer of character and of the ever-fading American Dream. These pieces encompass the pre- and postwar Irish American family life she circles in the early Temporary Shelter series, as well as a wealth of new fiction that brings her contemporary characters into middle age; it is their turn to face bodily decline, mortality, and the more complex anxieties of modern life. With their powerful insights into how we make do, both socially and privately, these stories are a treasure of American fiction.Pearl, Spending, The Company of Women, The Rest of Life, and The Other Side are some of Mary Gordon's novels. She's also the author of the memoir The Shadow Man, as well as other nonfiction works. She has won the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the O. Henry Prize in 1997. The Henry Prize is given to the best narrative. She lives in New York City and teaches at Barnard College.
